| A personal memoir: The story of one university lecturer from before the start of her life until the present. Sometimes the life we are born into determines our destiny. However, destiny is mutable. Life's events are sometimes viewed as pushing us through our lives. We are inert in the process. One life-changing moment taught this author that passivity is not an option. Regrouping and addressing the events that shaped the person she was, she used her new knowledge to create the life she knew she deserved. |
