We knew a guy who was always in school. Even after graduating, he pursued higher and higher education. As far as we knew, he had never left school to enter the work world. We called him “Continuing Ed.” The following stories go in the other direction. They tell of your experiences returning to school — to complete high school, to learn new skills, to know the feeling of holding a degree, to do something for family, neighbors and society in general. It’s remarkable how large a role our state community college system plays in furthering education and pride. We received a couple hundred of these. Not a single one expressed an ounce of regret. Thanks to everyone who submitted a story. — Michael E.C. Gery, editor |
