• Her favorite poem:
  • Infinite Words of Wisdom: Poem: “One Minute” …………. I only have just one minute; Only sixty seconds in it; Forced upon Me; Cannot refuse it; Didn't seek it; Didn't choose it; I will suffer if I lose it; Yes, one tiny little minute; Yet ETERNITY is in it.     (Author Unknown)
• Most challenging Career Obstacle:
