Former League of Women Voters treasurer. Former social studies and English teacher. My real involvement began when I was invited to be a candidate for the board of education. Someone else got the job, and I volunteered at the lowest level. I've learned so much from so many people.
Radicals have their place, but they are often left out when it comes to doing something.
I think I am an activist. Find what you care about and do what you can. It's an adrenaline rush to have challenges. I seriously thought that this job would be too much. In fact, it has been exhilarating.
