On my 35th birthday, I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane that was more than two miles above the earth. Why?
Why not?
It was something I had wanted to do for a long time and there seemed no better time. And it was worth every scream. From then on, I knew there would be nothing I couldn’t accomplish. My hopes and dreams were in my hands; I alone would determine my future.
With a career spanning more than 20 years, I have worked in the political, higher education, corporate and nonprofit sectors. As the elders say, I wouldn’t trade nothin’ for my journey.
I'm also the author of "Let's Get You Hired: Cover Letters, Resumes & Interviews," bit.ly/letsgetyouhired.
