I love the vehicle analogy. Vehicle serve a purpose, but over time our purpose changes as we live and experience life. As we travel down the road of life we see new things that can change our path in life if we choose and it becomes time to change the vehicle.

This is a continuous process that gets us to where we need to be. For me that first vehicle was the law, years later that turned into education. The two paths initially seemed very different, but later merged into my passion, debate.

My underlining goal was to help people, that never changed. What changed was how I went about helping. It was the perfect marriage of my skills as a lawyer and educator. It also allowed time to help take care of my Mom.

With Mom's passing away in April, I have been think what do I do now. Recently, I learned of a job opening with the Debate League. I jumped on the opportunity and applied. I recently had a phone interview and will be hearing next week if I get an in-person interview.

This would be my dream job. It is not something I ever imagined I would be doing years ago. But it has become my passion. Regardless if I get the job, I will continue to be involved in debate. It is a vehicle that transforms the life's of the kids that participate in the after school activity.
