She received a scholarship for her academic success and earned her Master's Degree with honors. She was named "Outstanding Business and Professional Woman of the Year". She received recognition for her dedication to teaching the lessons of the Holocaust, and was twice named in "Who's Who Among America's Teachers". In 2007, she was recognized as a Graduate of Distinction by her high school. She became a successful manager with an international women's clothing company and received numerous awards for her accomplishments there. She was named one of the 25 most successful business women in America by this same company. She was loved and respected by everyone whose life she touched. In spite of this, she felt like life was passing her by until, one day, she decided to take control of her destiny. She refused to settle for the status quo and, after taking an inventory of her life, left for distant lands. At the time, she could not have imagined what a life altering decision this would turn out to be. She thought she was going to Turkey to teach but, instead, ended up being the student. After living there for eight years she finally had a grasp of the lessons that she spent a lifetime trying to avoid. Her story is one of discovery, anticipation, disappointment, and introspection. It is one that should be read by everyone with a spirit of adventure. It's a testament to the fact that one is never too old to change the course of their life and that dreams can indeed come true!view less
