50 years is a long time! It is amazing how many times you rewrite yourself. I have found that for about every five to ten years you go into a new era. There was a baseball era, the Lindy Hop era, etc. I am about half way through the shark era and I am loving it. We have at least 4 Be A Shark events in the next few months with another 3 or 4 being planned. How fun is that?!?!

If you would have told my 12 year old self in 1988 that at age 50, I would be trotting around the country dressed like a shark convincing people they rock, teaching folks about careers, and how to network that would have been a very happy 12 year old kid.

If you school or organization is interested in the Be a Shark workshop, please reach out to me at mwright@adelphi.edu. Details can be found here: https://cosmicpathways.org/be-a-shark/
