Rebecca's Story
Life
My biggest accomplishment is I've raised two very confident and good children. What else is there? I've gone to school, held down numerous jobs but my children are the most important thing I have ever worked on. I hope they have courage and strength to accomplish all of their dreams. Our youngest has graduated and I was the volunteer coordinator for the Senior Pary. I was in charge of 350 + parents. Now, I'm into a new a very strange area of my life. I'm thinking of opening up a business running volunteers or working in a more offical way with my local school district. Possible work the community involving the residents in their community.
I planned and organized a trip to Europe with my kids and we had a wonderful experience. England and Scotland were wonderful. Maybe I should take some French classes as I was helpless in a country which doesn't like or appreciate English.
Maybe now I could take an Italian language so I could talk to my Italian son.
I now have freedoms that I haven't had in 22 years and I am unsure of myself ...Expand for more
and with all my life experiences I had, how can I make it work for me in a career.
Does anyone else out there feel this way? What are you doing to make being in our 50's a very positive experience for yourself and others all around us.
School
I've managed to survive Howland High and went on to smaller and somewhat better parts of my life.
After graduation I went to Upper Iowa University for 2 years and then on to Mankato State Univerity here in Minnesota. I did my fair share of being a party person and learned how to develope relationships without having family close by me. It wasn't easy but I did grow up and mature finally. UIU was good for me as a small school and MSU was great for me to learn to believe in myself and my abilities. I came back and walked through the halls of Howland High after 22 years and felt the ghosts of my past haunting me. It wasn't the easy to talk to teachers who had no idea who I was and I remember them as if I had just walked in their class yesterday. Married in 1980 to Jim Kvitrud (Irondale 1971 graduate)
