| Getting to Know Your Mentor |
| Name: Donna Marie Age: I was born in 1970 Place of Birth: Ft. Benning, Georgia Email: [email protected] or [email protected] Spouse: Children:Two teenage boys-Josh & Kenny Pets: None at the time! Hobbies: Crafts, chatting, writing, camping, hiking, fishing, and trail riding. School: I graduated from Rising Sun High School in May 1989 and received a two-year completion certificate from the Southeastern Career Center (in Versailles, IN) in Secretarial/Word Processing. Why I decided to go to college: After my mom passed away in 1998, I decided to do something I had always wanted to do. After checking into a lot of colleges in our area, I found out about the WED program. It fits my schedule and gives me time to be with my family. Distance from the campus: I used to live about 4 hours from the campus but now I live about an 1 1/2 away. What do I want to be when I grow up: Up until a few months ago, I was an Elementary Education major. However, after taking the Philosophy course, I did some very major soul searching and discovered that I wanted to be a Business Major instead. I have always worked in an office and the aspect of marketing has always intrigued me. I graduated in 2004 and have my own business now! Major: Marketing/2004 - Human Resource Management/Creative Writing Minor/Theology Minor - hopefully by 2009! My first reaction to the campus: WOW!! What a place! I felt at peace the moment I walked on campus. I went and visited the shrine by the concrete bridge and sat on one of the benches staring at Mary. I looked all around me and felt so at peace. I knew this was the place I was meant to be! How WED has affected my family: My dad is very encouraging and has visited the campus with me. My boys love the fact that now, I have homework! We sit down and do homework together, which is really special for us. My friends have said they have seen a change in me, that I am more independent and a bit more outgoing now. The men in my household have also learned how to do the laundry among other household chores The worst thing I was ever told about WED: That I would be writing 40 page essays EVERY day for my classes. Don't always believe what you hear!! The Worst class I have taken: Well, if it had been high school, I would have said Biology. But you know what? Even when I took Biology at SMWC, I actually LIKED it!! I would have to say the worst class I took was Statistics wow!! But I managed to ace it!! The BEST class I have taken so far: That would be hard to say! I have had great success in all of my classes and all of my instructors have been absolutely fantastic! One piece of advice: Always let your advisors and instructors know what is happening in your life. I speak from personal experience. Add me on yahoo messenger if you like: [email protected] |
