A lot of people think education stops when they graduate from school. That is not the case with me! I enjoy learning new things. As for my formal education, I started my college experience at Roger Williams College (now University) studying engineering, then switched to business. I was still majoring in business when I transferred to the University of Wyoming. Due to academic struggles, I had to switch to something else before a failed out of school. At this point I had put enough time and money into my schooling that I looked for something I liked that I felt I could handle. History was what I found, and I did get a Bachelor of Science in History from the University of Wyoming. I enjoyed my college & university experience, although I wish I had gotten better counsel. Maybe I didn’t listen to the advice. Either way, I wish that I had attended university with a purpose besides just graduating.
