as a legacy for my son Dennis and my
daughter Susan and my grandchildren
and great-grandchildren. I have fantastic
family and friends.
I retired after 54 years as a public
school teacher. I loved teaching eighthgraders.
I feel that my students have
given me more than I gave them.
I have spent my years searching and growing and always trying to be a
responsible person. I am living a charmed life.
In my journey I have dealt with negatives such as alcoholism, divorce,
death, codependency, and Alzheimer’s. I am a child of an alcoholic; I married
and divorced an alcoholic; I was a codependent. Alzheimer’s is one of the
cruelest diseases there is. The disease erased all that made my mom a unique
human being.
I hope my story can inspire.
Sports have given me much pleasure. I love football, basketball, IRL
racing, and NASCAR. My favorites are the Green Bay Packers, the Illini, Dan
Wheldon, Danica Patrick, Brett Favre, Jeff Gordon, and Jimmie Johnson.
Traveling has been the most invigorating experience for me as I have
traveled the US and the world. It was so neat to walk the Great Wall of
China.
I am living a very passionate, positive, and fulfi lling life. It is not my age
that defi nes me; it is what I do with my life. With love; my name is Arcelia.weniger sehen
