I didn't know what to expect from other students or the teachers," she told the Star last week. Mrs. Windsor, separated with three children aged nine to 12, has gone back to school as a full time student, carry- ing a full course load in the hopes of earning a grade 12 diploma. Any fears or concerns she may have had that first day - as a "freshman" soon began to vanish, and now after a little more than a month of classes, she says the students are treating her just fine. ~ "The other students have really accepted me, and they think that what I'm doing Thurs., Sat. &Sun.:8P.M.

Commissioner of Planning - that diploma, 'proudest day of my life will here (at school) is very good, "I have been accepted in every class I walk into," she said. iy In her effort to make up grades 11 and 12 in one year, Mrs. Windsor is- carrying seven subjects and to get the marks that means hitting the books for a couple of hours each evening after her own kids have gone to bed. "It's kind of hard trying to juggle classes, homework, : and raising my own family, but I've got a lot of confi- dence that I can do it." Anyone who knows Mrs. Windsor (she's been active in minor softball in Port Perry for years) knows that she has a lot of grit, determination and energy. She has always been an active, energetic person, and she believes that this is helping her at school. "I'm going to try to take part in as 'many school activities as I can," she said. After completing the grade 12, Mrs. Windsor hopes to go on and take a college course in sales management and promotion, and get back into the work force. She once worked in sales promotion for a department store and this is what she eventually wants to do again. The decision to go back to high school full time was not made on the spur of the moment, and was not made without a lot of soul- searching with her three children. "We talked it all over in detail. There is some sacri- fice for all of us. My kids have had to give up a few things like Brownies, Guides and hockey. But they agreed and 'in some ways this has brought us closer together as * a family," she said. "I think they are learning something - about responsi- bility, and that you have to make sacrifices for anything worthwhile." ¢ For the past three years she worked as a lunch-room supervisor at Cornish Public ". School, and of course had to - give this up to go back to classes full time. "I just can't say enough - about the students at the _high school. They are great to me. A couple of boys are even starting to call me "sis". That means a lot to me," she said. : ; So far this term, things have gone pretty well for this freshman, including a couple . of better than average marks on class tests. But Mrs. Windsor knows «that she still has a long way 'to go and a lot of work to do. 41 know I'm going to get come next year when I go up on the stage to receive it," she said. i If you know this spunky lady with the ready 'smile and the college degree from the school of hard knocks, you just can't help but "believe the day will come when she will dash up the steps of that high school stage to receive that diploma, : HELPFUL HINTS .

She -is taking a full course load and come spring hopes to have a grade 12 diploma. 'Being a mother of three and a full time student is tough, but she is more than confident.
