Hi! I'm Lee McCracken. I am a Justice Studies senior this year. I haven't decided if I want to graduate in December or stretch it out to May. If I successfully complete nine hours this semester, I would be eligible for graduation. I don't know if I want to do nine or just do six this semester and finish up in spring semester. I work 8 - 5 everyday, along with other committments, so nine hours might end up a bit of a stretch for me.
I am in a group of college students that is growing all the time--those that are not of a "typical" college age. I just turned 52 a couple of weeks ago and am earning my very first bachelor's degree. I honestly never dreamed of getting a college education. I got married in October, 1999 and my wife got a job at ASU after moving out here a couple of months after we married. She told me I was nuts if I didn't take advantage of the staff tuition waiver, so I started school. So, I started school in January, 2001 and here I am.
I worked at ASU for 23 years before leaving in 2005 to join the Maricopa County Community College District. I currently work as an Administrative Secretary in their Foundation.
I love being a justice studies major. I once told my wife that, after looking at the course descriptions for Justice Studies, I would love to just be able to take every course listed because they all sounded so awesome!
