Writer bids farewell
I have mixed feelings as I sit down to
write this column. Today I must say good­
bye to all of my readers. For three years I
have been offering advice, sounding off,
and hashing over the problems of lifein my
column. Now it. is time for me to move on
and leave this space on the paper for some
other aspiring young writer. ..
Domestic Issues
Tammy Swartzendruber
I have many happy memories of my
days hereat C.C.C.. Although I must admit,
it does feel good to have this portion of my
life behind me. Many of you haye told me
how much you will miss reading my col­
umn. At those times I feel nostalgic about
leaving. I appreciate all the reader support
I have had here on campus.
Hopefully this won’t be the last time
you see my name in print. Someday you
may just find my name on a copy of the best
selling book of the year. (Dream on, Tammy)
Seriously though, I do plan on getting
a minor in English and continuing to write.
Next year will find me at P.S.U. plugging
away on a sociology degree. Maybe I’ll see
some of you out there. Until then hang on.
Work toward the fulfillment of your dreams
and never give up.
I know the way gets tough sometimes,
but persevere and things will get better. I
came here a single parent with an eighth
gradeeducation. I leave herewith a G.E.D.
and an Associate degree in Social Science.
I am planning a fall wedding with the man
of my dreams.
My little girl was three years old when
I started college. She is now a first grader
and, believe it or not, she is already writing
stories of her own. She’s always bugging
me to send her stories to a publisher. Well,
I don’t want to discourage her so we are
currently working on a story to send to a
Childrens’ magazine. She writes the story
and I correct the spelling. Who knows?
Maybe some day she will be writing won­
derful things. I must admit I am proud to
see her love for writing. She’s a wonderful
kid to say the least.
No, my. way through college was not
paved with gold, but I wouldn’t trade these
last three years for anything. So long eve­
rybody and gqpd luck to you all!
