1.If you were famous what would your stage name be?
Resilience - Throughout this walk of life, we will all experience personal challenges. Yet, having the courage to pull through difficult times can be transformative to one’s character and can build mental fortitude.
2.If you would attend a celebrity wedding which, would it be?
Dateline ID – This show gives me a window into the lives of real people that have faced difficult odds. I sometimes think, “What if this were my family? How would we respond”? I am often amazed at how families are able to stay hopeful in the face of horrendous incidents.
3.What is the weirdest gift you’ve ever received?
Repeated follow-ups - Whether it’s asking my husband if he remembered to rsvp for a social or sending multiple emails to employees, I cannot resist making sure things are on target. Although annoying at times, I have used these skills to support and mentor students preparing for FTC robotics completions.
4.What is the most random fact you know?
“So, what are you going to do differently next time?” - Any time our son does not achieve expected outcomes, we challenge him to think about what he will differently next time to achieve desired results. Essentially, it’s the things we take away from experiences that are the most valuable.
5.What is the one thing you’ll never do again?
Wednesday – Since Wednesday are midweek, our family views this day as an opportunity to reflect, regroup, reprioritize, and refocus. We view it as a second chance to end the week off on a good note.
