Читать книгу More than a Miracle - Susan Smith - Страница 7

Ohio Northern University

Algebra, world history, and chemistry held little interest for me. I didn’t care about going to college for another four years. I wanted to become a hairdresser, working with people and being creative.

My parents made me promise to go to college for one year. If I still didn’t like it, I could return. I decided to major in art.

Of course, I loved it. I was able to continue cheerleading and found the art classes challenging. My sophomore year, I went to a mixer and met Don Caplea, the man I would marry. He was handsome and funny and belonged to a fraternity.

Don was two years older than me. When he graduated, he applied and was accepted to law school.

My parents knew we were getting serious. Mom advised me to drop art and get a teaching degree. She made sense to me because she explained that it would be like having an insurance policy. I had to admit that it wasn’t a bad idea.
