I was a first-gen rural community girl, who got her undergrad degree in Computer Science at a time when we programed on punch cards and most ladies in this field were designated to data entry responsibilities. Some of my favorite quotes are from Winston Churchill "Never, never, never give up."; Florence Nightingale "Proceed until apprehended" and Benjamin Franklin "Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing about". My personal mission statement? Work smart, have fun, do good. :)
