Great post - by the way. When I was in business school, and trying to land a summer internship in marketing (with no prior experience), I finally offered to work for free for one of the firms that had rejected me. They ended up giving me the job, and paying me. This was more of a desperate move than a creative attempt to reach my goal....but nonetheless it worked!

Just this week-end my husband installed a new antenna, with an amplifier, and for the first time in months we can get CBS. I'm so out of the habit of watching Oprah that I might have missed this show entirely. It has been a long time since I've felt like a woman who can make things happen. I have taken on more of a transitional role - someone who shakes things up and makes room for things that need to change - as a teacher and as a student myself. I was always able to get my children what they needed, even forcing an impromptu PET meeting in 1993 with the principal when she refused to believe my son needed services for reading and writing, which was proven when she finally scheduled the testing. [He's an engineer now, so it was worth the battle to get what he needed.] I am so glad you posted this.
