Sharyn's Story

When my children were in high school, I started working in private preschools as a teacher and within three years, I was hired to organize and open a preschool/daycare center as the director. I was the director of that school until I retired in 2000 after serving 18 years in that capacity. I always wanted to be a teacher but also to be able to use my administrative skills.

e. I have mentored other directors during my latter years and since retiring. Also, I have been a volunteer for the Pasadena City Hall and an Adult Literacy Tutor through the Pasadena Reads program. I'm currently homeschooling two grandsons one day a week while my daughter works, and I visit the retirement homes and shut-ins of my church one day a week. The elderly are very much like the preschoolers in their needs and expectations. I also am taking a course in writing children's literature. It is a goal I have had for some time. I also enjoy gourmet cooking and gardening since I no longer have a work schedule. My retired life is much more relaxed than the days of parenting and working at a full time job, but I am still learning and growing.
