My Mother's Resume (or Curriculum Vitae if you are a Kiwi!)

My writing assignment today was:

Using the lists you made in the Bible section of this mini-unit, write a resume for a woman who fits the Proverbs 31 ideal.

It wasn't too hard to make a resume, I copied some things from Dad's, so that made it easier. Mom was the only woman I could think of who fit the Proverbs 31 ideal, so I did her. It isn't "professional", but the best I could do.
