What did you study in school, or what was a favorite subject?
Did you receive your education somewhere other than school?

In high school I took all college prep courses because I always planned to go to college.  High school was easy for me and I loved school although I wasn’t very popular.  I was too much of a ‘nerd’ I guess but I did have friends.  Art classes were my favorites.  After high school I enrolled at Clemson University majoring in Architecture.  My dream was to be an architect and design buildings which my daddy (who was a builder) would then build.  In retrospect I wish I had just majored in art and become a commercial artist.  Architecture was extremely hard.  First of all at that time Clemson had not been coed for many years so there were 2700 male students and 300 female students.  In the School of Architecture the freshman class included 2 females of which I was one so in many of my classes I was the only girl in the class.  Very intimidating for someone as self conscience as I was at that time.  I lived on campus in a dorm and attended classes 6 days a week, Monday thru Friday 8am – 5pm and on Saturday 8am – noon.  In addition I was usually back at the lab working on projects every night so I had very little free time.  Plus the fact that in high school I never learned how to study because it was so easy for me so I was really struggling in college.  In the middle of my second semester one of my lungs collapsed and I missed 3 weeks of school.  I got so far behind that I decided to drop out of school and go back in the fall and change my major.  Of course I got a full time job, bought a car and never went back full time.  Over the years I’ve taken various classes at local colleges and even some over the internet but I’ve always regreted not going back to college and finishing.
