CHERYL FINAMORE PIPER

Yes

I never did succeed (at least not yet) in becoming the author I wanted to be, but I have been successful in other areas. I have been married for 20 years and been employed with the same company for over 25 years. I am blessed with 2 wonderful and healthy children; my son is currently attending CSUN, on a full athletic scholarship & hoping to be involved in professional sports broadcasting of some sort, and my daughter is in her first year at Moorpark Community College, with hopes (at this moment of being a child psychologist), although now, she is leaning towards court reporting (I know, far leaps from one another, but that's her and her overly fun personality). Overall, I have achieved more than I could have ever thought possible for myself, and consider myself very lucky, blessed, grateful and very humble. I have great friends and a terrific family.

Some of my best memories include laughing and attempting to get things done in journalism class; and Mr. Wondra - looking back on it, I learned so much from him (even if at the time, we all thought he was a bit "out there") - I still use so many of the skills I learned from him, in my everyday writing of letters, etc. Of course, some of the memories from those years are not always happy ones, but both the good and the not so good, shape who we are, and give us the character we develop; for me, all of it is memorable and was certainly worth it. I actually do miss the connection I had with so many. I hope to definetly reconnect with a few.
