I ask the students I tutor, “What is a product?” It’s the answer you get when you multiply. I am a product -- of all I have done multiplied by all those whose paths I have crossed. My life goals include meeting everyone and going everywhere. I am who I am partly because of my elementary classmates in Kentucky multiplied by my friend Angela in Arizona. The beauty of a bay in Puerto Rico multiplied by the friends I was with on that cruise formed me. The teenage students on a bus in Wales and amazing past roommates are factors in my life. Divorced parents, Korea, adoption, Tennessee, special needs daughter, creative son, Colorado, coworkers at a clothing store, Mexico, widowed neighbors -- the factor list is innumerable. I am a product, and fortunately, a product is bigger than the numbers you started with.

You didn't miss the deadline, I said by Spring-not spring 2012! This is amazing and captures everything about you. I love the math analogy--and how many places you have been. I thought I might have offended you with my joke about meeting everyone--obviously not, it is still on your "to do" list. I appreciate everyone supporting my little challenge-it has been so much fun that I will think of another assignment.
I love it! What a perfect formula to work from! I think you nailed it! Love you!
