I graduated from Chautauqua High School, in the snowbelt, near Buffalo, NY. Next I attended Cedarville University and received a BA in Elementary Education. After having a son with special needs, I attended Ohio State for my Special Education Certificate with an endorcement in Talented and Gifted. Later, I received my Masters in Elementary Education. Presently, I have one more class and I will have a Teacher of English for Speakers of Other Languages. My next degree will be called Retirement!!!, but not for awhile.
