Von Steuben H.S. Track Team 1980-1982 |
I have always had the 'gift of gab,' with a competitive streak to boot! It is no wonder why I have always enjoyed 'SALES, and it all started in high school. I was the captain of the cheerleaders’ squad, an active member on the drama club, a good dancer, participated in all the talent shows, practiced gymnastics, and I won both prom queen and most popular in my junior/senior year. However, nothing brought me more gratification than being an active member on 'Von Steuben High School's track team.' I was never the fastest on the squad, but I practiced many hours to earn the third spot on the relay team. In fact, it was in high school that I learned the principles of team sports, discipline, and how to win a race. Consequently, that is one of the reasons my favorite quote is "winning is a matter of endurance. As long as you do not quit, you will win." I ask this question: "how many of us stop running the race, just because we lose the finals?"
