Carolyn's Story
Life
I moved from California to Illinois when I was in 4th grade then to Texas for college. After college, I moved back to California where I met my hubby.
My hubby and I are involved with an organization called Rotary International. We do a lot of activities for our local community (fund raisers for schools, new shoes for needy kids, tutoring for kids, etc.) as well as for communities overseas (brick making machine to make houses for a community in Kenya, Africa, eye surgery machine for a community in India, etc).

School
High school is a bit of a blur as my mom was ill the whole time. She died the summer after my junior year. I got involved with cheerleading as a reprieve from things at home. I guess that I had a big mouth and could do some minor gymnastics. I wasn't particularly popular nor was I stuck up as some might think. Most of the time I was distracted about my mom's condition so sorry if I didn't seem so friendly at times. I was simply surviving.
College
After almost three years majoring in oceanography (I learned that you need a PhD to get anywhere), I switch to chemical engineering (my dad's occupation) and graduated from the University of Texas. I didn't have a lot of money so had to work several jobs (some part and some full time) during my college years.
