RETURNING TO COLLEGE
BY GEORGE C. LOWE
THE CLASS OF 1990
I never intended to take ten years off from college. So when I decided to complete my studies it was a big decision. My choice to attend Saint Joseph's was influenced by the positive feedback of a satisfied student. At Saint Joseph's I found an atmosphere that inspired me to earn success. I think of the College faculty and staff as warm and sincere. The faculty established itself as honest and knowledgeable. This environment is positively charged. I regularly take the issues discussed in our classes back to my workplace and home. Now I am in a position to recommend a college: I recom- mend Saint Joseph's.
AN APPRECIATION
BY MARY EDWARDS
THE CLASS OF 1990
I wish to express my sincere thanks and grateful appreciation to the faculty of Saint Joseph's College. Of all the fine things about the College, the attitude of its faculty impressed me most. Their hard work and dedication is a clear demonstration of exceptional commitment to the students - whatever they can do to further your career goals they'll do.
I am proud to be a graduate of Saint Joseph's College.

RESOLUTION
BY VELMA DAVID
THE CLASS OF 1990
I began Saint Joseph's College in the spring of 1988. And, what a nervous wreck I thought I would be by the end of the first semes- ter. But somehow, I am here completing my final semester and preparing for graduation. I am the mother of five children, two boys and three girls, and a wife, with a full-time job. Yet I am here ready to graduate! I tell you this because you too can make it. Forget about the storms: we all have them. Learn to ride the waves and achieve your goals.

EDUCATION FOR THE FUTURE
BY IMELDA FORRESTER-EVANS
THE CLASS OF 1990
I graduated from nursing school about ten years ago. I started at Saint Joseph's College and then stopped for one year. Then I decided to return and complete what I had started.
I am really glad that I chose Saint Joseph's. The classes are warm and friendly and we are treated as individuals with respect.
I am proud of myself. It was hard, but what I've learned at Saint Joseph's will shape my future career goals.

HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
As ACHIEVEMENTS '90 goes to press, we are happy to an- nounce that General Studies students enrolled in CHA 501/502, Field Study in International Health Care Systems under Victor Brown, will pay a health care fact finding trip to the Caribbean Island of Saint Lucia, this spring. This visit will enable students to learn about the infrastructure of the health care delivery system of this country as well as provide cultural enrichment. Students en- rolled in CHA 501/502 may receive college credit for this exper- ience.

TRANSITIONS
BY DOROTHY HOWARD
THE CLASS OF 1990
And how long have you been working towards your degree? Sometimes I could swear it's been eighty years — but, in truth, it only seems that long.
I have been working toward a degree, sporadically, since my graduation from high school in 1971. At graduation, I was so envious of friends who were making the transition from high school to college — going on, uninterrupted, to earn their degree. There were many unexpected detours on my road to a degree — the necessity to earn an immediate living, a mar- riage, a relocation, a divorce, yet another relocation — and somehow, these took precedence over my longing to earn a degree. But I was ever hopeful.
Some years ago, I found my way to St. Joseph's. Deter- mined to make this opportunity work, I squeezed classes in on weekends and stretched my work week to include term papers and required readings. I was pleased with my progress and unwilling to entertain any further detours.
I found myself facing old demons, however, when my neph- ew, Rob, was born. The envy I had harbored against those long-ago classmates who sailed smoothly on to college prompted me to open a bank account in trust for Rob's college tuition. In the manner of many a doting relation, I vowed that my much-loved nephew would not have to post- pone studies for lack of funds, or struggle to attend classes after work. The urge to provide for him in this way arose, I think, from the overriding value I attributed to that smooth

TRANSITIONS
(Continued)
transition denied me.
Lately, however, I have been reflecting on my experiences here at St. Joseph's, and discovering an appreciation for the rather erratic course my own studies have taken over the years. In retrospect, I benefited from the passage of time which enabled me to define my goals, consider alternatives and choose a personal lifestyle.
In particular, I find myself appreciating my classmates, struggling like myself to juggle responsibilities while maintaining a grasp on a very personal goal. In class after class, their thoughtful comments — flowing from their own much-lived lives — challenged me to think beyond my own experience.
And so, if in years to come, my nephew finds himself side- tracked and, like his aunt, enters college during his "30-some- thing" years, I will be there to assure him that, whatever he may lose in terms of continuity, he will surely gain in an educa- tion enhanced by the experience of his own and his class- mates' fully-lived lives, and the glimpse of worlds otherwise unknown.
In parting, this is my "thank you" to those students (and instructors, as well) who took the time to share the totality of their life experiences, their cultural and ethnic heritages, their unique point of view — and, in so doing, immeasurably en- riched the achievement of my long-pursued goal.
