Introduction to Nancy’s story

Nancy lives in an apartment with her husband in Woodstock. Nancy loves the social part of her building, joining in the potlucks, the bingos, and euchres. One of Nancy’s greatest loves is her computer. She is always bringing in new programs and has donated a large print dictionary to the program.

Nancy has just found out she has won an essay contest and has been interviewed by our local newspaper. The topic she wrote on was Perspectives and she talks about her boss at work and how easy he makes her job. Nancy’s essay has also been judged at the provincial level and she was the winner and will be travelling to Toronto to accept her award and $300.00. Nancy is a delight to teach and her goals are further reading and math skills so she can do her own budgeting and continue on with her creative writing.
