I'd do it like a CV or resume rather than a book, obviously! Just hit the personal, academic and professional highlights.

you know, where you were born & raised, colleges attended & degrees, work history, marriage, children and personal passions -- like skiiing, running, writing poetry, not "G.B." ; )

I think part of the task is to show you can boil it down to the bare essentials.

Good luck! you're never too "old" to learn. Have fun!!

sounds great! I think you'll have fun with it. Algebra will come back to you -- I'm helping my middle-schoolers with it now. At first, I was sort of thrown, but it's coming back. O'course, that's not college level!

Enjoy your new adventure. It sounds like your life has been FULL of them!

CONGRATS!

i think you're on the right track w/ the CV...and best wishes w/ algebra!!! i personally hated math, which my dad couldn't understand b/c he was an engineer. i still remember screaming matches over my calculus homework. fortunately, i haven't had to touch it since high school. unfortunately, i do overhear conversations that my boyfriend (who was a math major in college) has w/ friends regarding imaginary numbers. personally, i have a tough enough time w/ real numbers!

"If I get bogged down I can ask them. I gotta be real desperate for that, though! LOL I'll exhaust every other possible option before I do that."

LOL!!!

Uh, I still remember fighting w/ my dad about the damn problem sets. I can remember saying to him "what part of 'i don't understand' do you not understand?" And then when I went off to college, my brother ended up in the exact same arguments with him. I'd call sometimes and in the background, I could hear them screaming at each other...Ah, the good ole days...
