"We were all looking at our careers, where we had been and where we wanted to go, and ended up at KU," said Kim Metzger, who is seeking a master's in counseling education. "I think it will be fun to attend KU together because we're all excited about school, common friendships and the chance to support and help each other."

The same challenges and conflicts that characterize the experiences of many graduate students who reenter school to complete master's degrees have contributed to Kim Metzger's excitement of studying at the University of Kansas.
The father, mother and daughter trio all entered KU this fall in pursuit of master's degrees.
But, unlike most new students this year, the dominating sources of her enthusiasm are her two roommates, Kay and Ken, who also happen to be her parents.

Ken Metzer called his relationship with Kim, and with all his children. atypical.
"It ites to have generated some interest among us that we, as parents and child, have similar goals and even some similar courses," Ken Metzger said. "It is a challenge for all of us to go back to school as older students and meet the demands of school."
"Growing up in such an education-oriented family keeps me continuously thinking of ways to better my education and career," Kim Metzger said.

Ken Metzger, who earned a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Nebraska, is working on a master's in business administration in addition to teaching full time at Haskell Indian Junior College in the skills development center.
Kay said that living with her daughter would be a plus because as female adults, she and Kim shared many common interests.
"A tolerant relationship really exists between all three of us, including trust to communicate and respect of private space," she said. Last spring, we talked about the need for a shared home, a so-called 'child' move back into the home, but so far we haven't run into a lot of conflicts."
"I couldn't pass up the opportunity to develop friends with my parents as individuals with their own goals and interests," Metzger said. "Even though the whole family is close, I have the chance to share a special relationship with them for awhile."
Re-entering school was one way for her to do that. Besides taking nine hours of class, Metzger is also working 20 hours a week at the KU advising center. She said the busy schedule was not yet a problem.

Kim Metzger completed a bachelor's degree of elementary education at the University of Nebraska in 1983. Working with computers as an accountant and as an installation specialist was never quite satisfying for Metzger, and she started looking for graduate programs.
Her parents' suggestion to attend classes in Lawrence and live at home for free clinched Metzger's decision to attend KU.
She watched her father complete a doctoral degree and teach philosophy, logic and English classes at Southeast Missouri State University. While they were there, Ken and Kay founded the School of Community, a private school no longer in existence, based on the educational philosophies of open classrooms and self-paced study.
Growing up in a family where continuing education was prevalent had an enormous impact on her career expectations, Kim Metzger said. The examples set by her parents of the importance of education were numerous.
