my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

I'm a school teacher but I changed to this profession later in life.  I was a secretary for about 15 years and this is my 17th year of teaching.  I LOVED going back to school as an older student--I think I appreciated learning much more than I did the first time around in my 20's!

How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?

I'm slower, more things ache, but I feel wiser.  I'm more even-tempered, slower to anger but also slower to feel joy.  I don't agonize over every little thing but I also forget things--especially names!

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Hopefully, retired and writing!  I have always wanted to do some serious writing but work and family kept me too busy.

You idiot!  Don't withdraw your retirement--you'll want it later!

my role models

Pretty much all of the teachers I work with--they're amazing people willing to give their all to help kids!  I feel so privileged to work with so many intelligent, hard-working and compassionate people.
