Running, Zumming and Teaching

I love the open road! Many of my college dates found me riding on the back of a motorcycle. After a trip to Greece this spring where most people ride scooters or motorcycles, I felt compelled to purchase a Yamaha Zuma. Maybe I am trying to recapture my youth.

This seemed to launch me on the road to setting and accomplishing other goals.

Studying European History was my first goal, and I made A's in all three of my classes. This is quite an accomplishment. I thought of history as facts and timelines, and memorizing facts has always been difficult. A wonderful professor proved me wrong.

My next goal - to beat my times from the last four years for running the Kentlands/Lakelands 5K. The weather was perfect for racing. I took almost four minutes off my best time!

Another interest is digital photography. My goal was to restore some black and white photos from my mother's youth. It was a sentimental project and the restored photos looked much better than the originals.

I’m now teaching basic math again to students lacking those educational skills. I’ve realized through all of these life goals that it’s important to give it your best with patience, compassion and determination – and you’ll be a winner.
