Alberta Umphress Griffith

Went back to school after raising my children, helping raise my grandchildren . Studied Nursing courses, helped care for my Mother when she was ill. Went to work for 3 different hospitals in Idaho. Presently working in Internal Medicine, went back to school and currently finishing my degree in Accounting, with the intention of getting licensed in Forensic Accounting and working from home eventually obtaining a degree in Forensics.

My senior year 1971, we had a "sit-in" on the front lawn of the school grounds protesting the firing of 2 teachers. I was given the choice to get back to class within 5 minutes, or risk the chance of not graduating...as much as I wanted to stay the sit in...I chose to go back to class or face the consequences of trying to explain to my Dad why I could not graduate!!!!! All in all it was a great lesson in freedom of speech...but graduating was more important to me at the time!!!
