Patricia's Story
Life
I am currently teaching highschool (Geography, Family Studies) in Beamsville, Ontario near my home in St. Catharines. My secretarial and fashion background provided an
excellent starting point for my teaching career, although
I would never have made the
connection in my high school
graduating year. My husband and I
have three children (2 girls and 1
boy) who take care of spending my
paycheque...2 in university and one
finishing highschool. Life has been
very good.
College
After graduating from Seneca College (Fashion Arts) I married and
moved to Ottawa to allow my
husband to complete Law School. I
worked at Carleton University as a
secret...Expand for more
ary to support "our family" for three years and then enrolled as a full-time student. My husband
obtained a position at a firm in St.
Catharines which allowed me close
proximity to Teacher's College at
Brock University. I supply taught,
tutored and raised our children to a reasonable??? age and then
returned to teaching highschool.
Studying at Carleton satisfied my love of research and provided an
opportunity which pointed the way
to a career in teaching...which I
always hoped I could do but
wondered if it were possible given
other choices I had made earlier in
life. The old adage, "it's never too
late" definitely applies to my life
journey..
