Math+Bio

My educational biography is a rather interesting and convoluted one.

I was taken out of school at the age of 13 (almost 14). For a few years I just did housework with academics not being a part of my life. Then, when I was 17, I was able to start working on my education. Due to moving because of economic reasons trying to get into a better job and better circumstances, it was not until I was 25 that I was able to get into college and stay until graduation.

Even though I had a poor educational background, I was able to graduate summa cum laude with a Bachelor's of Science in Secondary Education with emphases in Mathematics and Science.

After this, I taught for a year then I got married. Based upon where I was teaching, I was forced to choose between teaching there and marriage. I then (not immediately) moved to New York state. Since then I have completed almost 2 years of additional mathematics course through Hudson Valley Community College and SUNY-Albany (State University of New York-Albany). After which, I started a Master's of Arts in Education/Curriculum and Instruction-Mathematics Education through the University of Phoenix-Online. I am set to graduate on August 7, 2009. Currently I have a GPA of 3.89 and so will graduate with honors.
