In retrospect, I wish I could say that my higher
educational pursuits had been the result of a traditional track of graduating
high school and going to college. It certainly would have been easier. At
eighteen years of age, I was not wise enough or mature enough to recognize
education’s lifelong importance. At the time, college seemed to be the last
thing on my mind. I wanted to be married and was guilty of a socially inspired
“white picketed fence” mentality that governed many of my earlier life
decisions. I have learned over the years that there is a reason the cliché “Youth
is wasted on the Young” exists.
