If court reporting didn't exist, I’d
be... |
...Retired from city government looking
for something exciting and fulfilling to do! |
Greatest non-court reporting achievement
- |
Bowled a perfect game – 300! |
Hidden Talent |
It’s still hidden. |
Secret desire - |
Own a home in the country where I could
feed the animals & birds (on a grander scale than I do now); own
a horse, a Harley …… maybe just the horse! |
Best advice I've ever received - |
Through God, all things are possible. |
I love court reporting because... |
...It doesn’t have to be 9 to 5. Been
there -done that! |
When I have 2 spare hours, I... |
Throw in a load of laundry, watch pre-taped
shows of Law and Order, vacuum the floor, clean the fish tank, bathe
the rot--- How many hours did you say? |
Favorite singer, musician or group |
Earth Wind and Fire, Luther Vandross |
In 5 years I will be... |
...Providing CART for a hard-of-hearing
student and freelancing. |
How I discovered court reporting - |
A lady I bowled with a while ago told me
about the profession. |
Favorite Movie |
The Wizard of Oz. When I entered high school
here in Michigan, a student asked me if I knew Dorothy. My reply was
“Yeah, I know her and I used to play with Toto”. Go figure! |
Favorite TV Show |
Law and Order reruns and it looks like Commander
In Chief is a winner (is it a chic thing?) |
Best Court Reporting Tip - |
Really learn your theory – and then
practice- read back, practice – read back. |
Anything you want to add about yourself
- |
I am a Taurus and am supposed to be bull-headed.
The only thing I AM bull-headed about is that I will become a RPR and
a CSR with the help of SimplySteno. Thanking you in advance, Marc. |
