    Thanks everyone. We are so excited for her. She has really enjoyed her student teaching. She's had a great mentor teacher and a great college adviser to do her student teaching under. Her college adviser told her she was going to suggest giving her an A+ on her student teaching because she did so well. An A+ is almost unheard of so that really tickled her whether she gets it or not. She had some great kids too. She is hoping she can actually get a job at that high school eventually. She liked the teachers, students and the environment their.


    I'm just so happy for her that she's finally finishing. She's had some set backs with classes not transferring and with one adviser messing her up over another one. Those caused her to have to go an extra year and a half. She's got way more credits than she needs to graduate but because of mess ups and having to have at least 12 credit hours even though she only need 2 class one time and 1 the other and the college not working with her even though it was their fault...ughh long story...BUT she did it in spite of that.

    I know how you feel. My son of 22 still has to get accepted and pay for med school but at least we got him thru the first 4 debt free. I have a 25 year old that we put thru debt free. We also have a younger 19 year old that we are putting thru and a 27 year old that we paid for a few years of college. My husband says we will be rich one day when we are not paying for college, cars, gas, and entertainment.LOL
