One of the things many of you may or may not know about me is that my entire university education has been acquired while working full time. When I was allotted TV time, I didn’t use it to watch the standard children’s shows. In Grade 12 I received a scholarship for the college that offered this program.

When I was in high school , I worked two (sometimes three) jobs so that I could go to college. During my college career, I ensured I took a minimum of three courses at all times in order to maintain my status as a full time student. Drop Some Courses. Bursaries/Scholarships . This isn’t the case.

Sometimes it complicates things and can throw a wrench in a project or a something I am trying to achieve, sometimes it’s just a roundabout way of getting to the same outcome, and sometimes it serves me really well. I worked full-time throughout college and took a few internships.

I gave up a full scholarship years ago to get married right out of high school because I was, well, young and in love. Time passed, and as a sometimes happens, we grew apart and eventually divorced. And I now have 2 wonderful grandchildren to love as well. I was getting the education but not the experience.

I also had a blog several years ago (a little more on that below), but these days I write periodic essays at A Word on Substack as well as short, inspiring (I hope) messages most mornings at Good Notes. I came into adulthood struggling to pay my way through college and then struggling to repay student loans on a small salary.
