Soon they became aware of a few of her behavioral quirks, and testing began for her. This led to an early diagnosis at eight years old of borderline educability, which did not ring true because they knew she was reading already at three years old. By then, she was already on special trial, attending two special schools, and then as a junior was transferred to the local high school. There, she attended honor courses and graduated third in her class. She then took another year while also attending a college course on ancient history.
Someone asked her professor about her ability, and his answer was “I’ve got a student in that class who knows more about ancient history than I do.” He then said she should be attending Ursinus College right now. Soon after that, a friend helped her enter into that college. She proceeded to graduate with high honors, majoring in English and minoring in Spanish. After graduation, she acquired a library position at her local community college, where she worked for fifteen years until a later move to North Carolina and then onto Oregon.
Looking back to graduation day, a favorite professor asked, “What now, Jaci?” Her answer was “I want to write a novel.” And here is her first attempt at “what now,” hoping to acquire fans of teenage and young adult fiction. She is currently working on novel no. 2, which takes place in Japan.view less
