Patty's Story
Life
After graduation, I went straight to work. Finally in 1993, I went to college. I graduated from Pittsburg State in 1997 with a BS in Elementary Education and a minor in Special Education. I worked 3 years with ANW Coop teaching special education. One year in Altoona and 2 years in Galesburg. I loved teaching but not the politics that went along with the coop so I quit. For the next 4 years I looked for another teaching position, but no luck. At the time I quit I was reintroduced to Jim Lane (PHS 1976). He moved into my life and I began helping out with his trucking company in Bluejacket, OK. We were together for six and a half ...Expand for more
years. That is, until he decided to cheat. We split in May 07. I bought a house in Miami, OK. I accepted a teaching position in May 05 at Welch Public Schools as a Special Education teacher and now I have 28 emotionally disturbed special education students. It is challenging, and my numbers continue to grow. I had 15 when school started that August!
It has been interesting starting over in a new town by myself!!! There was nothing left in Parsons for me. I still have my family there, and it is only a hour to Parsons.
2007 has been a hard, challenging, and difficult year. I am looking forward to 2008, and all that it will bring.
