What are some of your talents? Explain how you discovered them and what you have done to cultivate and improve them. Describe how your talents have they affected your life

I am good with numbers.  My Mother always told me that.  She also told Mark that when she first met him.  I didn't do anything to develop that talent.

I grew up in small town Benton City, WA .  Mom encouraged me to go to college but I just didn't have the confidence because I couldn't picture myself doing anything besides being a secretary.  My Aunt Wilma, who grew up close to me worked as  a secretary out at Hanford and she was the only working adult female I knew.  The rest were stay at home moms.  That is probably why I went to Modern Business College in Kennewick.  I took all the business classes in High School.  Typing, shorthand and Office Practice.  I received the "Business" award for the school as a senior.

I do love to count money, I have collected coins.  I probably should have been some kind of accountant.

Whoops.
