Gail, You are quite eloquent!! and deeply authentic! Believe it or not, my parents were quite ahead of their time...in many ways...My mother, an army nurse at the Battle of the Bulge, married at 29, but planned to go to medical school at 30 if not married....I have always said that my father (ret. Army Colonel) was the first feminist to influence me. My father cooked most of our meals, especially holidays! He didn't think his girls should clean (swab) floors...so he did. They chose to retire in Tempe so that 'if' we chose to go to college it would be affordable. My mother worked at the ASU infirmary and so it was a very familiar environment for me, too. You are so right, these are the shoulders on which we stand! My folks did what they could to encourage us....but, not being college grads themselves, they deferred to the system; not being wealthy, they provided college at $5 a semester...can you believe it? I am grateful to them for all they did and modeled....and, because of their support, I continued....on and on and on and so has my daughter. And no, it is never too late....you will enjoy school and you will bring to your program of study and to your classmates experience and knowledge that will enrich your studies and deepen your passion to be a healer. Fabulous!! and, just a note.....the title is nice (I seldom use it though)....I did it for the neat beret Phds get to wear at convocations!! ;-)
