Teri's Story
Life
After M&A,I went to Fairleigh Dickinson University, where I met my future husband. After College, I entered a Master's degree program in Urban Planning at Hunter College, CUNY. While studying for my Master's degree, I took the law boards. The following year, I entered Brooklyn Law school as part of a dual degree program. I completed both my Master's and Law degrees in 1985, and married that summer. I passed the Bar exam that year, and worked for several years as an attorney with the New York State Urban Develpoment Corporation. My husband and I moved to New Jersey in 1987, and in 1988, I took a job with the New Jersey Office of State Planning as a planner. I was part of a team that developed New Jersey's first statewide growth management plan. I continued to work for the State of New Jersey afetr the birth of my son in 1990, and after the birth of my daughter in 1993. Because of my husband's successful dental practice, I was fortunate enough to be able...Expand for more
to quit work in 1995 to be home with my chilren.
Although I have not been employed since then, I have been quite busy. Not only have I been busy with the work of bringing up children (and believe me, it's work), but I have also been busy with community work and hobbies. I have run three New York City Marathons, and am still a dedicated runner; I lift weights regularly; and I take Tae Kwon Do with my daughter. In about six months I will be testing for (and hopefully receiving) my Black Belt. In short, I am in the best physical shape I have ever been in! I also started palying the piano again, which has been very enjoyable for me. I am a member of a local senior citizen housing board, and, with an eye towards returning to wotk, I am enrolled in a program to receive a certificate in not-for profit management.
I still look back fondly at my years at the "Castle on the Hill" and the wonderful people I went to school with. I hope to see many of you at the reunion.
