Patricia Meeks was a busy military wife with three children to raise and teach. Her own education often took a back seat, but eventually she completed her associate degree. When she learned the FSCJ B.S. in Early Childhood Education would prepare her to teach, and get paid to do it, she went for it. Now she's the infant teacher in a childcare center, helping the very youngest students discover values and coping skills along with developing their intellectual growth.
