"I'm in the "Hero. Genius. Legend" program for that very reason - to sharpen-up my life"

I work as a CNA for an assisted living facility, and I am also a full-time graduate student in the Master of Social Work program at the University of Wisconsin. I am a retired Chief Warrant Officer/Legal Administrator, having served in the Judge Advocate General Corps for 21 years in such places as Korea, Turkey, Italy, Japan, and Germany. I have also traveled to various places in the Middle East and the Czech Republic. I earned my first master's degree at American University in Washington, D.C., and worked in that marvelous city for 12 years, first at the World Bank, then for the Department of Justice, and the for the international law firm of White & Case. I published a textbook in 2010, and was a university instructor for 7 years. Life comes full circle in a nice way sometimes, so I now live in Wisconsin, which is where my family settled 57 years ago. I am now age 67, and not even close to anything that would resemble retirement. In fact, when I hit age 65, it was as though I hit the "reset" button, and just wanted to keep climbing!! I'm in the "Hero. Genius. Legend" program for that very reason - to sharpen-up my life as I move on to age 100. Then, at 100, I might think about retiring. God bless you all!!!
