Subject: [nobe-l] just wanted to introduce myself

Greetings,
My name is Joanne stark.  I am 26 years old, and have bounced 
through a number of career ideas over the years, but I have 
finally settled on a path to a degree in early childhood 
education.  I plan on starting school in fall, 2015 at the 
University of Wisconsin, Marathon County in Wausau, eventually 
transferring to the University of Minnesota's early childhood 
education program to obtain my bachelor degree.  I have 
contemplated taking things a step further after this is done, and 
considered a possible master's degree in teaching the blind and 
visually impaired, but nothing is guaranteed.  so this is where I 
am currently.  I am still waiting to hear about residency in 
Wausau, and will be visiting the town in a couple of weeks to 
meet with financial and academic advisors at this school, among 
other things.  If anyone has any recommendations for questions I 
should ask them, please send them my way.  I don't want to leave 
any subject overlooked at the end of both meetings, nor do I wish 
to see a repeat of my college nightmare I experienced several 
years back when I attended university before I was emotionally 
ready to do so.  I know this request doesn't really apply to 
education,  and it should also be sent to NABS,but I feel  taking 
a proactive approach and receiving feedback from people both in 
the prospective field and on the way to receiving degrees in 
education, is needed.  Asking all the right questions early, (in 
this case nearly a year early), will help me have a better, more 
enriching college experience this time around, now that I am 
certain of my purpose in life.  Of course, not all answers can be 
gotten before college starts, but I want to be prepared this 
time, and I am doing much of the advocacy and speaking myself, 
which I feel will make all the difference in my education.  Trust 
me when I say this was not the case seven years ago.
Hoping you are all well.  Take care and have a great day.  
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
