Finally, at age 45, I went back to school, finished my degree and earned a teacher credential, and now I work part-time as a teacher-tutor in a public school, working with kindergarteners who need extra help.

While I was in college, I wrote a research paper about the history of quilts in America, which later I submitted to my academic honor society, that won in TVE national contest. Then my advisors had the paper published in a research journal!<br />Nowadays, I am a wife, mom, a quilter, work as a registrar in a hospital, and have my own blog abouty quilting and sewing. I guess I'm still a writer, just not quite like I thought!<br />reillyr2@hotmail.com<br />Claddaghsquiltsandstars.blogspot.comRachellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10124087896605983602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-25675845250761513582012-10-20T12:30:37.837-07:002012-10-20T12:30:37.837-07:00I wanted to work in the fashion industry and I did...I wanted to work in the fashion industry and I did for a long time...but then stopped when I had my children since the hours were not conducive to seeing the children awake.
