[Blindtlk] drivers, social lives, school and rehab

[Judy Jones]

Very interesting.  I was a teacher and loved it, taught for four years 
before getting together with my future husband.

So true Judy, So true. I am hardly ever home.

Cheryl, I want my life to have a purpose and have an impact on others. That
is why I want to be a teacher. I wish I would have realized and had the
courage to pursue it when I was in college. It would have been a lot easier
then.
Thanks
