In my late 30s after raising our children, I returned to school. When I first enrolled, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do other than get my degree. It wasn't easy! Fortunately, the classes at NCC were small and personal and many teachers inspired and encouraged me. Now look at me; I am an English teacher! I love my job and I know I made the right decision.
