Ever wondered what it takes to turn personal challenges into a lifelong mission? Today, I share my journey from a small town in Michigan to a fulfilling career in special education across the country. From the struggles of job rejections and career uncertainty to the joy of making a difference in the lives of children with disabilities, especially those with autism, this episode captures the highs and lows of my path. You’ll hear about the critical moments that shaped my career, the motivation behind my dedication, and the lessons learned along the way.
Retirement isn’t the end of my story—it’s just a new chapter. I talk candidly about the emotional challenges of stepping away from a passion that has defined my life for decades. Even now, at 72, I find ways to stay connected to the educational community through part-time tutoring. This episode is filled with reflections on the importance of perseverance, the impact of special education, and the powerful connections that continue to inspire me. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that encourages you to embrace your unique journey and find fulfillment in every stage of life.
