This week I interviewed Sue Schmidt. She has been a classroom aide for 61/2 years. Her favorite movie is the Polar Express. When she decided to go back to work after 14 years of taking care of her children, she had to make a choice whether or not to go back into her prior career. Being a skilled profession, she knew she was out of the loop with the latest computer programming, that would be necessary for her re-employment as an executive or legal secretary. Still wanting to be able to be a part of her children's lives as much as possible, she decided to work for school so she could have her summers off. Her mother was an elementary school secretary and her father was a teacher, so she knew as a kid how that felt having those summers with her mom and dad around. She subbed as a librarian and also as a classroom aide. She kept getting called back to do classroom aide work, and she found that she really enjoyed working with special needs students. Mrs. Schmidt has always lived in Ohio and took 14 years off of her career to be a mom. Thank you Mrs. Schmidt for letting me interview you.
