Imagine a woman who was abused as a child, suffered from learning disabilities, was required to repeat first grade, went through school in the same class with a younger more accomplished sister, completed a rigorous college program that produced a bachelor’s degree and registered nursing credential, endured three months of total bed rest during her fourth pregnancy so as to deliver a premature baby by emergency Caesarean, adopted two Korean orphans, worked for twenty years full time as a school nurse, initiated the purchase and continuing management of several income properties, traveled alone in the South Pacific for four months volunteering in school and public health programs, overcame a bout with cancer and shared the on site management of the motel with her husband for the last thirteen years of her active working life. Along the way she found time to travel extensively throughout much of the world and became a part time travel agent. Her courage was exhibited throughout her life by unwillingness to accept defeat and her undying faith in her ability to succeed.
