I'm Debi England. I was about to graduate a daughter and I was going to be bored. And
I could not stand the thought of just not contributing more. And so I figured I was
still very young and had a lot left to give and had always wanted to be a chiropractor.
So I figured I was still smart so I still should be able to pull off most of what they
were going to ask me to do. You know, I juggle jobs and responsibilities that are related
to student and a parent, just a million different things so I think that's probably the hardest
thing that I do. If I'm not in class, I'm in the Union, either in the capacity at Off
Campus Connections or across the hall in the Union Administration working with Stacey so
I live here. And so I'm always eating lunch here. Most of the time I go down to the Food
Court just because it's convenient and decent variety. Spend a lot the time snacking here,
and a good income flow for these people here, good cash flow. I took a night class for a
couple of reasons. One was I really felt like I would get a different group of people. And
not that traditional age students are intolerable. But I wanted somebody that would maybe have
a different perspective on things and might think a little more like me and so it was
convenient because then I could work. And then just to have a different group of people
and it ended up being a really...they're still a very interesting group of people, younger
than I expected. [daughter Lydia]: Mom started going to school, I think, the end of my junior
year through my senior year. It was a little weird because I was like, my mother's in college.
I'm supposed to be the one going to college. But, ya know, I got used to it. Mom came home
and did her homework so it was kind a normal part of the day. I mean, she was in school
a lot of my life. I thought it was always kind of cool 'cause I was like my mom's in
college, you know, she's actually doing what she wants to do. Everyone else's mother is
like stuck doing something what they don't want to do.
