Attending ACU was by far one of the most imortant decisions I ever made. You can't appreciate attending a Christian university unless you attended a state school like I did. No one is perfect and you can't expect that from anyone you meet or know.I met some really neat people attending ACU and some of them are still a part of my life. I wouldn't even begin to mention names because I might forget someone important who mattered a lot to me and shaped my moments there.By the time I graduated, I was married. I remember during this time, my grandparents would write and send me a couple of dollars while I attended ACU or ACC as it was called back then. When I think of the professors, they were pretty good and I loved living in the dorm. I decided top be a teacher when I was 8. You know when I had the teacher in third who was wonderful..I even was a flower girl in her wedding. My daddy wanted me to do anything but teach. He suggested strongly that I try to be a dental hygienist but my first day to observe in an office resulted in me fainting whenver I looked into this woman's mouth. So... from then on he reluctantly allowed me to go to school to be a teacher if only I would teach elementary. I honestly wanted to be a drill team instructor but that wasn't going to happen. He also said he would pay for only 3 years of college. so guess what? I went summers, winters, spring and fall. I have never regretted teaching. In fact, I would teach for free. Except in this crazy world, you have to pay for stuff with cash. I wonder what it was like for the cave man. What a simple world they lived.

Well, after my horrible year in fourth grade, I had better days in school with my teachers and never felt like that again. Thank goodness because once in a lifetime witch is enough. However, the girls I went to school with were something else. It was pretty hard to spend time every day with their tackiness. Maybe that is why I have been blessed with some wonderful daughters who are sweet most of the time. Jealousy just does ugly things to people. Whenever I went to Jr. High, I had fantastic teachers. Even the coaches were wonderful. I had a fun time at school each day. I learned a lot. Then I went to high school.(John Tyler) There I was in the NHS and a member of the drill team that rivaled the famous TJC Apache Belles. When I graduated I went to TJC and graduated with an AA. While there I visited Abilene Christian University one weekend and fell in love with the school. That's why I ended up here 33 years ago on a cold January weekend.
