Pat Bubash’s Summary
Having spent over 30 years in the field of education, I am now utilizing my experiences and training in writing and volunteering. Most of my years were spent as a counselor working with children and families. Rapport with children has always been easy for me, and equally, enjoyable. My goal is to continue tutoring with at risk students and spending more time with the foster children at Angels Arms. These activities are very rewarding, but I,also, realize my need for personal growth as a counselor and member of a world community. I attend workshops and networking activities as a participant and a presenter. This is my 19th year presenting a continuing education class at Meramec on Career Planning and Assessment. I enjoy meeting diverse groups of people, and this class has provided that for me. Every year when I think I am going to make it my last class, I sign on again! My husband and I volunteer for the USO which gives us a great deal of satisfaction. Presently, I am working to market my book, Successful Second Marriages. My goal is to reach groups where I can speak and present the essence of the book: hope, encouragement and inspiration that a second marriage can be successful. There is another book in my creative mental box, a book that I have a passion for, but not finding time to get it in words.. I find it hard to comprehend people who say, they are bored! There is so much to do, so little time!

School Counselor/Licensed Professional Counselor
Rockwood School District
(Educational Institution; Education Management industry)
August 1989 — June 2004 (14 years 11 months)
I am a former school counselor, but preferring to use the word, "reinventing" vs. "retired"! I have written a book, Successful Second Marriages which keeps me busy learning the ropes of marketing. My focus is on support groups, church groups, bookstores where the book will be viewed as a beneficial resource. I write articles for 50PlusSt.Louis.com. ,as well, as some other sites. Volunteering is an important part of my current life's phase. Two organizations I actively support are the USO and Angels' Arms. I have found the St.Louis Writer's Guild to be a very interesting group to be involved with, and have placed membership. Life is very eventful at this time of "reinventing" myself!

University of Missouri-Saint Louis
M.Ed. +30hrs. , Education & Counseling , 1975 — 1983
Recently completed a book, Successful Second Marriages. This was goal that was fostered by my experience with families in my career as a school counselor. I wanted to provide people with stories of other couples who so far had "beat the odds".
Along with volunteering, marketing my book, my husband and I have squeezed in travel time. This past Nov. I attended a Woman;s Way Retreat in Sedona, Az.
It was a wonderful experience, and we were awed by the scenery - a second time is imminent!
Presently, I am excited by the opportunity to promote my book via an appearance on Great Day St.Louis - a brief time, 4-5, minutes but hopefully, enough, to get the word out on the value of the book.- Activities and Societies:
- Past Board member of Kids in the Middle. Board member and Past President of St.Louis Association for Counseling and Development. Board Member for The Olive Branch. Coordinator for Habitat for Humanity through Affton Christian Church. Oasis volunteer, and tutor for after school program. Member of St.Louis Psychoanalytic Institute. Volunteer for Angels Arms.
