Susan Hogue

Biography

Susan Hogue, a 43-year-old mother of five, found success as a mortgage broker in small-town Kansas. She also volunteered to manage a dance school and supervised Cowley County's first professional production of The Nutcracker for a holiday show. "I am not rich by monetary standards," she says. "I am rich in experience, opportunity and relationships .. My investment in my life, as well as the lives of others, has returned itself tenfold or more."

Now she has decided to go back to school to teach the financial facts of life to high school students. Her work as a broker showed her that she had a deep drive to "teach business concepts at the secondary level," so that her students have "more fundamental knowledge of how to manage their financial affairs or endeavors." She adds, "I am excited and passionate about teaching something that may make the difference between success and failure in the lives of our future leaders."

Susan began her transition to pursuing this goal at Cowley College, where she achieved a 3.95 GPA. Her next step will be to earn a bachelor's degree in business education at Southwestern College.
