| My son and I moved to W. PA for me to do an internship at W. VA U. in Morgantown. (My daughter was at W. WA U.) |
| There we were — with a lease, knee-deep in debt — and no job. We couldn’t afford to stay and we couldn’t afford to go. I pieced together jobs — counseling and nursing. Eventually I worked 6 different jobs plus driving at least 20 hrs./wk. It was a wonderful learning experience but it took its toll on me, especially physically. |
| I finished an off-campus Master’s in educational and counseling psychology through Washington State U. in 2 1/2 years. I did the doctoral course work on campus in 2 years. |
| I completed my dissertation on dreams, personality types and affect during that internship year - the final requirement for my PhD in Educational and Counseling Psychology. |
