Background of a nontrad student
As a father of 2 daughters, being married for 17 years now, and having been a road and bridge engineer of over 15 years, I consider myself a "nontraditional student". After many years in the business world, our booming economy blessed me with unemployment. So, with much thought and prayer and the urging and blessings from my family I set out on this great odyssey. I am now 18 months into my education and have accomplished a great deal. I have completed 85 hours at MTSU and have a 3.96 GPA. I would like to say it has been easy juggling school and family, but that would be a lie. It has been difficult, but the rewards have been awesome. Teaching I know will be difficult, but rewards and happiness await me.

Hello. It's nice to know someone else is struggling with the same choices and decisions I am making. I was terrified at the thought of going back into a class. Definitely not 20 any more. But it has been fantastic so far. It's my first semester at mtsu. I am a transfer student so my first experience on that campus was a major culture shock but being older turns out to be a benefit.
