Life Overall, life has been good to me. I've been married for almost 30 years, and have a teenage daughter. Other than that, it's been GREAT. LMAO Life has offered me many challenges that I've tried to take as opportunities to grow. I earned my PhD from the School of Hard Knocks, Class Valedictorian. My professional career has allowed me to learn many lessons. You may/may not recall, during HS I typed-for-$ many a term paper. BTW - sorry to those who didn't get their papers turned in on time; after all, I did tell you upfront that it was no money, no paper. Geez, I was only charging $1.00 per page, and that was before electric typewriters and wordprocessers! LMAO My first real job was at City Hall in Flint, where I started to work in the Fall after graduation. At that time I held the civil service test record for my typing speed; my aptitude scores were very high too. I actually skipped a day of school in my senior year to take the Civil Service Test – best move I could have made. Gainfully employed, financially comfortable, and moving up in life. The 70's were wondrous and somewhat wanderlust times for me. For a few years I lived in Shrewsbury, MA and worked in Boston, and spent week-ends on the Cape. After a few years in MA, I moved to back to MI, after realizing I had married the wrong person. Somehow, being in the right place, at the right time has been good for me. I’ve worked at the side of several executives and a few entrepreneurs in a variety of administrative capacities. Meeting some of the doers and shakers in the US health care industry opened many doors for me. For a few years, I traveled the US and PR starting up health care management type orgs. I've had a few "passions" that have taught me some valuable lessons. These passions are focused on today’s children, their education, health, and general well-being. ...Expand for more
