My name is Tina and I am an Ant. No, I am not the little creepy-crawly kind of insect. I am A Non-Traditional Student or an A.N.T.S. I am 47-years old. I am a single mom with two son—ages 15 and almost 7—living at home with me. I dropped out of college many years ago when I was a senior.
I am attending the University of New Mexico; majoring in Mass Communications with the emphasis on Public Relations. My major will be somewhere in the realm of art… art history, art education, art studio, art management…? My art is quilting and photography. I am a very visual, yet analytical person.
This is my third Fall Semester at UNM. When I started back to school in 2007 I was a returning Junior, projecting graduating in the Spring of 2010. However, life happens and I am still a Junior, only now my projected graduation is in the Fall of 2011. I often wonder if this—finishing my BA—is really what I should be focusing on. Maybe I am too old? Maybe there is an easier way to find a job that will help me support my family? Some days, I am not even sure that I like going to school.
