Gritty grad finally receives college degree By BILL KACZOR ! Florida entered State to work on a degree University in medical technology, which also helped her learn about her body and her disease. The tension and stress of going to school, however,' caused her scleroderma, which literally means hard skin, to worsen. She dropped out in her junior year. After returning home to Pensacola, she married, had her son, Clark, now 30, and became a Junior League volunteer. When, her son was 6, she began taking courses at West Florida. "I went into special education because I'm good with kids," Merritt said. "But you need a lot of physical dexterity to work with special ed kids. You need to button things for them, tie things for them." But, one by one, she was beginning to lose her fingers, so special education was out. After her divorce, she went to work as executive director of the Volunteer Center of Northwest Florida. "I realized if this agency was going to grow I needed to learn some stuff about management, so I started working on management in college," Merritt said. Going to school, working and raising her child turned out to be more than she could handle at one time, so she put college on hold again. When her son entered the University of Florida, she also returned to school as a part-tim- e student. "I switched to sociology," she said. "I just figured with all the years I had working in the people business that I could really use the sociology to give ne the theoretical backgroundaflai'!the thinking behind motivating people." She was only one elective away from her degree when her 17n Exterior Acrylic Latex House Paint Our Best Durable Flat Finish Excellent Color Retention Mildew Resistant Paint & Trim Our Poet s Finish Durable Excellent Gloss And Color Retention Mildew Resistantxterior Semi-Glo- r&ffjj V L 27.43 J Nopuiini rm.miiy to aim wmqmntM.
