Norman Thomas really prepared me for a successful future. It made me strong and thirsty for life. I have accomplished much since leaving Norman Thomas and I owe it all to the friends, faculty and family that believed in me.. I am a wife (26 years) and mother of 2 boys, Keith(25) and Erick (20).

At 50 years old, I embarked on a 2nd career as a Middle Grade Science Teacher after spending the first 25 years of my professional career as a Software Developer for many large Corporations (ie: IBM, Home Depot, Georgia Pacific and CheckFree Corporation). This Spring (July 2011), I intend to attend Graduate School in order to obtain a Masters Degree in Education.

You are NEVER too old to stop LEARNING!

I love you all..
Sincerely,
Jeannette Smith Lawson class of 1976
