I can't remember a time when my mom didn't work. She has forever been on the move: a go-getter. When my brother Adel and I had a paper route as kids my mom would get up before us at the crack of dawn to drop off the Washington Post at different corners.
I've had moments where I realize my body isn't going to withstand many more seasons but I am very satisfied with my career and I am trying not to look at retirement as a sad thing.
