I totally get this. Me and math...ugh. I finally learned how to do basic math working in a busy diner, back when we still said waitress!

My college journey started at 16 in a performing arts program and ended the next summer when I took a paying acting job. I went back to college in LA to take some film classes but never got a degree. Instead I went after my dreams.

I need to write an essay about this.

Same: Math. But how I loved drama and English. Editor of my 6th grade newspaper; staff of high school paper. Dreams of being Brenda Starr, Reporter. Didn't even finish community college. But I've been writing all my life. And then came teaching. And creating community. Following dreams.
