EDUCATION By Mary C. Gonzales The Class of 1988 I'll never go to school again! I uttered these words on numerous occasions after I graduated from nursing school. The conviction with which I made this statement was rivaled only by Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind when she so emphatically said, I 71 never go hungry again! Well, here I am graduating from Saint Josephls College and still finding it hard to believe. On those frigid Saturday mornings when I walked into class, I asked myself What am I doing here? or Why am I doing this to myself? But, luckily, I always found the answer to my questions. At the conclusion of each course, my efforts were rewarded with a feeling of accomplishment. I am grateful to my instructors for their wisdom and understanding, and I will always remember the friends that I made at Saint Joseph 3. At times it was difHcult to juggle the demands of school, a job, and my personal life. On graduation day I will accept my diploma with the realization that it was well worth the struggle. 13
