Meet Christine Hoober, a political science student at the University of Missouri – Kansas City. She attended ˿appKC for one semester in 1995, but then took a break to build a family. Now, she’s back in school and working toward finishing her degree. Being a mom doesn’t phase her.
“I admire all of my much, much younger classmates,” said Hoober. “I’m in school with classmates the same age as my oldest son, and I am constantly blown away by these kids.”
What has she learned about herself since returning to ˿appKC?
“I’m smarter and more capable that I give myself credit for, and I need to stop apologizing for my age and staying home with my kids. I’ve also embraced my ‘mom’ title,” Hoober said, adding that she enjoyed being the “AS˿app Mom” during her internship in Jefferson City with the Associated Students of the University of Missouri.
It’s never too late to learn. Read more about Hoober in .
