What did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was growing up in the 1960s, most girls were looking at pretty limited options: nurse, teacher, or secretary. I liked school, so I wanted to be a teacher.
I taught elementary school in Etobicoke (as far west as you can go in Toronto before you hit Mississauga) for five years.
I also wanted to be a mom and was lucky enough to have two wonderful kids (who are now so grown up they are almost older than I am).
