Her education breakdown is as follows: twelve years of primary school, two and one half years of college for original pursuit in Sociology & Children’s education. Before discussing any further of her educational experiences, I will now provide some family background information.

Entering school, with the intention of becoming a Sociologist, but unfortunately after two and one half years she quit school and returned home. A Chief component in her decision, not to continue there was due to the treatment by some her peers. As a typical college age student, she attended a party one night, declaring that she had way too much to drink as a “so called friend” took her advantage of. She reports that initially she had thought nothing about it, (no one really discussed things such as sexual assault) but, she believes that was why she chose not return; another incidence occurred during a business class she took. A general requirement of that class was to wear business clothing, and she stated that her business attire at that time (1960’s) was a miniskirt. She attest’s that this male professor repeatedly called upon her to write out problems on the board, not realizing to years later why he did that. She claims that this incidence appeared to suggest a form of sexual harassment. I concurred with her. We did not discuss her employment status for the next 6 months. Then, she decided to return to school, as a commuter student this time, deciding to enter the healthcare field, particularly nursing, not being able to elaborate as to why she made that chose.

She was born in 1927, and was the 6th child of 16 to her parents. Her mother is an American, originally from Vermont, she had been raised by her uncle, due to the death of her mom, and her dad emigrated here from Paris France. He was an educated gentleman, who spoke several different languages and he had training as a professional chef. Her mother did not work outside of their home and her father, who as I said was trained as a chef, worked in a local restaurant, not only as the cook but also in some type of management capacity as the owners were his friends. Due to the demands of having such a large family, her and older siblings were required to stop their schooling and enter the workforce at young ages. LPG-2 was educated until fourteen years of age, the 9th grade (1941). She insisted that she had not sought out approval of either parent; simply, she just had to do what she was told to do! Also, she emphatically stated that she had similar opportunities available to her, as did her brothers. I perceived her life situation differently, as society dictated her and older siblings needed to give up on their education to help support their family. This was typical of this generation. Upon our further discussion, she revealed to me that she entered, domestic jobs such as cooking and sewing, doing this for approximately two years
