Jacqueline Eisenstein Grossman

I retired as Social Worker after my last job at Federal Prosecuting Council in 2003. I´m widower. My mother will be 97 next September. I take care of her, five blocks away, house hold and her five caretaker´s team. I love my inside water exercises at Social Work for Commerce Workers and Retired Workers Institute. I play Canastra once a week. I just came from Germany where I stayed with my daughter Eliana, and granddaughter Julia. They are now moving from Koeln to Munster. I drive but São Paulo City (great São Paulo has more than 16 million inhabitants) is being awful for drivers.

Aged 17, I was the first Beachwood´s AFS Schollarship Student. So many good experiences. I had to study a lot, Lauren Bilsky, and so many of the class mates were so friendly and helped me through this year. Privileges of Graduation Year were on everybody´s minds, Games, Chear Leaders, Application to Univerity... When I came back to Brazil, I was so diferent, I began to work at a Chinese owned Chemical Industry as Secretary and began studying Social Work at night. The boy friend I met again in Brazil was no more interesting. After three years I met the one who would became my husband. He went to school in New York. He was about to be called to go to Vietnam. His Brothers called him back to Brazil immediately.

Retired but still busily in motion all the time

There are so many! Graduation is the best one!
