Since I can't sleep I will tell you about the history of education in your family tree.
Every woman on my side of the family, including both great-grandma's have college degrees. This is extreamly rare, not many women were educated back then.
Great-Grandma Honey- Degree in Social Work She worked both as a medical social worker and as a fraternity house mother. That must have been fun!
Great-Grandma Marjorie: Degree from University of Oregon. I believe she was an executive assistant, but married Great-Grandpa John right after that so she stayed at home.
Grandjan: BS Mathematics (smarty pants) from Oklahoma State University and a Masters in Computer Science from University of Houston. She worked in Computers for Shell Oil out of college. She stayed home with us and then went back to work as a recruiter and human resources person until she retired.
Aunt Kathy: College degree from UT in Psychology and a Masters of Psychology from Pepperdine in California. She stayed at home with your nephews and niece for a few years and now works as a recruiter.
Aunt Misty: Degree in Computers (IT)from Texas A&M
Great Aunt Barbara: also has a degree and had a very successful recruiting company for many years in Houston.
My cousin Pam has a degree in Advertising from UT, she works in advertising in Chicago now.
My cousin Raechel will soon graduate with a degree in nutrition from Texas State.
I received my degree in Health Promotion-Community Health and a minor in Psychology. I hope to go back to get a masters some day after you are in school. I went to University of Houston.
Your daddy's family is full of college educated women as well:
Grandmax- LVN. She was a psychiatric nurse and now helps people who call with questions.
Aunt Jennifer: BS in Journalism from Florida. She is a stay at home mom.
I will try to find out more about his side of the family!
About the smart men in your family!
Great Grandpa John (my mom's father)- Phd. in Chemistry. He was a chemist I will need to write a whole section on what a genius he was.
Great-grandpa Newton "Big" was a Rabbi and has a Doctorate. Again, I will write a whole post on what a pioneer he was for civil rights. He was an amazing man.
Great-grandpa A.D. "Poppy" He was Honey's second husband and he was also a wonderful Rabbi.
Your Grandpa Gary "Cowboy" Degree from Lamar University. Medical Doctorate Degree (MD) from Baylor Medical School. He attended UC San Fransisco for his internship and back to Baylor for his residency. He is a famous and brilliant medical doctor. Expect to hear tons about him.
Uncle Rick: Degree in finance and business from University of Houston. He is a investment professional.
My cousin Charles went to the Naval Acadamy and is a very important person in the military. He is in charge of an aircraft carrier and has a masters degree.
My other cousin Chase is currently enrolled at A&M. We hope he will graduate since he has been in college for almost 10 years.
Your fathers side of the family:
Grandchris- was a psychologist. He worked for the Veteran's Administration. We believe he went to school in Michigan.
