Back to school...

     Well I am going to start out at the beginning of my journey~
My name is Mandy Cummings and I am a single mother of three beautiful daughters.  Madison 9, Jessa 7, and my monster child Keigan is 5.  I have been a hair stylist for 17 years...  I have owned my own salon and taken many leaves to be able to stay home with my children, in the back of my head always wanting to push myself back to school for a bigger challenge.  So here I am at the age of 36 heading back into the classroom.  I have to say when I looked at my list of classes I needed I was a little nervous about Reading/Writing 1117.  When reading about it Nikka talked about writing papers and I screamed!!!  Then I looked at the book titled "The Glass Castle"  by Jeannette Walls.  I have read this and the follow up book "Half Broke Horses".  I absolutely loved both of these and found myself excited about my future reading/writing class.
     College in my eyes at the age of 36 is a lot different than when I was 18.  I found myself for many years thinking well this is it this is my path in life, am I happy?  Am I settled? or just settling?  I wanted to set an example to my daughters to strive to do something they have dreamed of and never be afraid of trying something new even if it is scary.  
     A lot goes through my head when I am asked to write.  Many questions I ask myself come out on paper.  During this course you may find my writings blogs interesting or boring but one thing I know you will find is grammer mistakes! I am not afraid to say it so get out your red pens and Help me out!
     Here is to a great semester in Reading/Writing 1117!!
