I’m seventeen in cosmetology school with no passion for hair. Only having a GED, I’m convinced this is my only path. I’m not smart enough for my passion. To my horror, I’m required to take tests on anatomy, biology and safety. I fear flunking out, but I get all A’s (my hair cutting skills are a different story). Am I smart? Years later, I bravely enroll in college. I graduate with a business bachelor’s degree, then a MBA and then a doctorate. I am smart enough! Today, I’m a professor who makes sure students know they are smart enough too.

I enjoyed this, and shared it with My Beloved (Dr) Sandra (EdD), who dropped out of high school in 1968, worked her way through GED while raising two daughters, moved on to her BA & then Masters, finally earning her Doctorate from University of Vermont almost half a century later. Special Ed paraeducator, SpEd Teacher, Principal (x3), Asst, Superintendant and finally Superintendent. Now, finally retired, she’s mine & mine alone, and I’m awestruck, daily.

Hi Ron,
My husband’s name is Ron. Great name!
Thank you for your support. Sandra sounds like a woman with a heart of gold and grit. We have lots in common although I can’t yet claim retirement.
I wish you both continued love.
