Mary Ann Smith is currently studying abroad in London in her final semester at Chattanooga State; she will graduate in May with her paralegal degree, and she's already working in the field. As a participant of ChattState's honors program, Global Scholars, Mary Ann has been able to access smaller classes and develop meaningful relationships with her professors. In this episode, she talks about coming back to college at the age of 52 and finding out that she is defined by more than just what's happened to her in the past.
