I’ve Learned That…You Are Who You Do Be With

I have this saying – you are who you do be with. It is a simple universal truth. In my case, I know I have been shaped by the intense relationship I have with the written word. I have always dedicated time to learning, whether it is through reading, researching, or applying what I have learned. An avid student, my lifelong love affair with learning began early with books. As a young girl, nothing held more appeal than the Nancy Drew series. I remember begging my mother to drive me to the neighboring community where our regional library was housed so I could feast on the newest releases.
Thanks to the Gap Program!
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009I am so proud to have been one of the chosen few to be accepted in the Gap Program here in Truro. When I first came into this program I was thinking (What am I getting myself into)? The very first day I met Tom Falle and told him I was very nervous and hoped there was someone in the class that I knew! Low and behold I did know 2 or 3 of the other students!
