She did become a teacher, but not the one she intended to be. Life's path led her to a career in banking. She found she could mentor those she worked with and help them obtain skills for a job and life. Her goal was to make each day better for someone. It might be a smile and a conversation with a client. It could be letting an employee present a solution and implement their idea. It was not always about following policy but recognizing how policy could help you find a solution to produce a win-win situation.
