Bragging a little

[deputydawg]

I had to share this with everyone.<br /><br />My wife has made it on the National Deans List at the University of Nebraska.<br /><br />History;<br />She was an honor student in High School, national Honor Society and all. <br />She graduated in 1990.<br />Got married in August 1990, moved out of state in 1991 spring.<br />She was offered a job as a paraprofessional teacher and subsitute teacher for the Rosebud Indian Schools in 1991.<br />1995 she followed me into my current carreer with a lot of support.<br />1996 I took my current job to get closer to a school for her to continue her education.<br />She started classes at UNK in 1996.<br />Took time off to work a few semesters to catch bills up.<br />Took time off to have 2 of our 3 kids.<br />Now with 3 kids at home, me working night shift, working as a fill in 911 dispatcher, substitute teacher, and tutoring foster children for the state she will be graduating in 3 weeks with a 3.8 GPA. (would have been a 4.0 but two recent classes did not offer letter grades, only P or F dragging GPA down a bit.)<br />Also during last pregnancy she was so sick, couldn't even keep water down, was hospitalized several times, still finished with 3.9 for the semester. She will be graduating with a bach. degree in Elementary Education and Special Education. She didn't want to take Special Ed as a minor or an endorsment so she went all out with double majors.<br />I tease her a lot with the ole "a lot of people go to school for 8 years", but am very proud of her.<br />Grades come easy, but with 3 kids at home and working, she has worked very hard for it.

Congrats to Mrs DD.You wont be sorry about that Special Ed ticket. My Wife is also a teacher, has her Masters in Special Ed and is National Board<br />Certified. If there are any cutbacks they never cut Sped programs as they are Federally mandated.<br />Ms DD That is quite an accomplishment let alone raising a family at the same time, you should feel proud.

Married up, didn't you, DD. Me too. My wife is a chemistry and biology teacher. She was a chemist first, a CSI type, but she went back to school and got her teaching certificate. She could be making a lot more money, but once or twice a year she gets to come home and say _______ got it today. When a kid turns that corner and starts to understand stuff they thought they would never understand, she knows she's doing what she was meant to do. Congrats to Mrs. DD.

<br /><br />Besides parenting, teaching is one of the most <br />important jobs out there.<br /><br />From your post, its obvious she is a driven and <br />dedicated person, perfect teacher material. We need <br />more like her.<br />

Very impressive! As a college grad, I can honestly say that I have no idea how she did it with all the other stuff on her plate. Bravo!

Re: Bragging a little

Thanks to everyone for the comments. She is definately a hard worker. She was still trying to attend class while being terribly sick, and in and out of the hospital with the youngest baby. Still got a 4.0 that semester.<br />She went back with a sick baby at home, killed her to leave us every day, but still ended with a 3.8 that semester.<br />She has worked very hard and deserves all your great comments. <br />Thanks again, you all are great!!!<br /><br />By the way she wants to get her gifted endorsement next fall to teach gifted as well as special ed and ele ed. She went with a major in both. <br />Then she plans on getting her masters in Special Ed, and still wants to get a masters in Math after that. masters programs are night and summer classes. <br /> I don't get it! School was hard enough!<br />AGain thanks a bunch to everyone.
