Sandra's Story
Life
I was raised on a farm in Mulmur Twp. near the hamlet of Terra Nova. I attended SS#7 Ruskview school from grades 1-8 and went to high school in Honeywood for 3 years until it closed. I finished secondary education in Shelburne at CDDHS.
I attended Lakeshore Teacher's College and began my 33 year teaching career in Peel County Brampton. I taught a variety of grades but chose special education as my area of expertise. I attended York University and took courses from Sir Wilfrid Laurier..
In June 1999 I retired from teaching and have enjoyed each day of retirement catching up on all the things I didn't have time to do throughout my career. ...Expand for more
I continue to make music a major part of my life and play in a band in the Brampton area. I have developed an interest in crafts and make flower arrangements. I garden, sew, do interior decorating and I am a clogger with the JC cloggers -Brampton group.
I have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetis and have coronary heart disease which necessitated an angioplasty procedure in 2003. To date my reports have been positive.I strongly encourage you working folks to retire as soon as you are able as life passes by so quickly we don't get a second chance to pursue interests outside the workplace. Take time to live each day as if it were your last.
