HAPPY HOUR CORONADO’S
Coronado Unified School District
“Public education does not just inform the public, it forms the public.”
At CUSD, we believe in the potential and promise of every child, every day; that our students will thrive when they have a connection to something greater than self; that our students must be challenged to think critically about the world and their place within; that our students are deserving of champions who create the conditions which foster creativity, compassion, and confidence; and that we have a profound responsibility to prepare our students for the uncertainties and challenges of the future.
Public education, and CUSD is no exception, faces immediate challenges of budget, declining enrollment, rapidly changing technology, and a future world that we cannot even imagine but yet need to prepare our students to succeed in.
Recognizing that the future is inherently unknown, we embarked this year on a strategic visioning initiative called Portrait of a Graduate. The project, which began in September 2023, will debut this month when we present to the public our three portraits; Portrait of a Graduate, Portrait of an Adult, and Portrait of a System.
with anticipating, researching, and interpreting emerging trends, technologies, and societal shifts that will shape the future. This shook us in a good way, and got us thinking from new perspectives about new possibilities.
Throughout the process we acknowledged the inevitable and extraordinarily fast shifts both in the way education is delivered and in the world in which our students will become adults. It is our responsibility to create a learning framework and spaces that proactively address system change that will help our students become confident to build their futures in a changing world.
While we are of course grounded in our immediate needs, we are excited to have a strategic vision that inspires us and guides us in purposeful planning and resource allocation. In creating these portraits, it is our hope that they will provide a continuity and a cornerstone for future staff, students, trustees, and our community
The process has been deliberate, thoughtful, and thorough. It was intentionally designed to include the voices and perspectives of our constituents and is reflective of tens of thousands of touchpoints from a coalition of staff, students, parents, elected officials, community members, and business leaders. We are grateful for their contributions and willingness to dream big.
We began by inviting ‘futurists’ to speak to our coalition. Futurists are specialists tasked
While we don’t know the future, we know that education will need to adapt to evolving societal needs, technological advancements, and workforce demands. While our students are at the center of everything we do, this wrap-around visioning process encompasses the adults and the system that supports students. The skills and mindset of our educators, and the values, resources, and experiences of our local and regional communities are critical pieces to our portraits.
We look forward to sharing the final portraits with our community!

It’s Electric!
Level-Up Your Summer Day with a Private Bay Cruise Aboard a Posh Duffy Boat
By Christine Van TuylIt’s sort of a no-brainer. Why wouldn’t someone in Coronado, which is practically surrounded by water, offer luxurious, captained boat cruises aboard the popular electric Duffy boats? What if you added some champagne and a lovely charcuterie board from Tartine? Sign me up!
Enter Seaforth Bay Experiences, brought to you by local hospitality pro Teevan McManus. Visitors and locals alike can now enjoy 90-minute, all-inclusive boat tours on brand new Duffy boats, each with a seasoned captain. Up to six people will nibble gourmet bites and sip festive drinks while taking in panoramic views from Glorietta Bay to the bridge. Did I mention that soon, each guest will get to wear their own pair of plush boat slippers?
It's pretty much the most relaxing and stylish way to experience the waters around Coronado.
“This is a new way to experience Coronado and the bay, and just create something different,” said McManus, who also runs
Coronado Surfing Academy. “It’s so epic on these electric Duffy boats, super smooth and chill, they just cater to that expectation of a high-end, luxury experience.”
McManus, along with his partners Jesse Wright and Gary Arthur, teamed up with Seaforth Boat Rentals to create the new experience. McManus says he got the idea a couple of years ago when he was running Coronado Surfing Academy out of the Hotel Del Coronado.
“They have something called the ‘Del state of mind,’ where you have access to all these amazing things,” said McManus. “Do you want to go to a spin class, then hit up the spa? Or you want to surf? But you’re also so close to the bay, and they weren’t doing anything on the bay.”
He said the Del’s unique location, just steps from the bay, made a 90-minute Duffy boat cruise an easy sell — especially if he elevated the experience with fresh food and drinks from local businesses.
“So, I ran it up the flag pole, and they said yeah, thumbs up, sounds good!” said McManus.
He says the business really started coming together in December, and they bought two brand-new, decked out Duffy boats two months ago. The cruises are offered every hour, on the hour, from 3pm until 6pm.
“The catering and all of the food is from Tartine, so we’re excited to feature local restaurants and make it a true Coronado experience,” said McManus. “We might even start offering weekend brunches.”
The Duffy boats, which McManus calls “whisper quiet” offer scenic views of Glorietta Bay without any engine noise. They also feature state-of-the-art sounds systems; guests can even send along their own playlists in advance.
The best part? No matter what’s going on with the ocean pollution, the Duffys always get the green light for cruising. After months and months of canceled surf lessons, McManus is excited to pivot to a business that can bring locals and visitors a new way of experiencing the ocean.
He’s already taken out lots of locals, in addition to Hotel Del team members. So far everyone has enjoyed the experience, says McManus.
“I’m super excited to be working with the Del again,” said McManus. “I mean, if you’re staying at the Del with your family of four, and you’re at the beach all day, maybe you have reservations at Nobu that night. But what are you going to do after the beach? Are you going to sit in the hotel room or come out and have a glass of wine or champagne on a boat cruise?”
Easy answer.
Even if the weather is bad and the water is choppy, the Duffys' clear plastic shells can completely zip up, keeping everything dry while still offering guests 360-degree views.
“We’ve taken these out in the rain before, when its totally pouring, and you’re totally enclosed and dry,” said McManus. “And they’re pretty beamy, so they handle just fine, even in some swell.”
In addition to the Duffy boat cruises, McManus will offer other bay experiences
like daily stand up paddle board tours at 9am and guided kayak tours at 11am.
It’s all about creating memorable, fresh opportunities to enhance the already stellar Coronado Island experience.
“When the beach was closed, people would ask me... What else is there to do? I would say, well, you can rent a bike, or a surrey, but there’s really not much else to do,” said McManus. “Now, you can do a kayak tour, or a stand up paddle, or relax on one of the Duffy boat cruises. It’s just an epic, elevated experience that we’re excited to offer.”

51st Annual Crown City Classic: A Run Through Coronado's History and Heart
By Grace HicksThe early morning sunlight reflects off the bay, casting a golden hue over Coronado's Tidelands Park. It's July 4th, and while most of America is prepping for barbecues and fireworks, a vibrant community of runners gathers at the start line of the 51st Annual Crown City Classic. The smell of sea air mixes with the excitement of the crowd as they prepare to race along one of California's most picturesque routes. This year, the race holds special significance for its longevity
and connection to Coronado's local charity, the Islander Sports Foundation (ISF).
A Storied Tradition
The Crown City Classic has a rich history, tracing its roots back to 1974 when a small group of San Diego Track Club runners decided to stage a half-marathon in Coronado. Since then, the event has evolved through numerous changes, weathered logistical challenges, and adapted to shifting landscapes. It has even endured the unpredictability of a global pandemic, maintaining its status as one of the most patriotic races on the West Coast.
Today, the Crown City Classic offers a USATF-certified 5K and 12K with a route that honors the original spirit of the event while providing a unique twist: a 7.4-mile race on July 4th. There's also a Kids Race, adding to the family-friendly atmosphere and encouraging younger generations to embrace a love of running.
Racing for a Cause
While the race attracts elite athletes like Jessica McClain, who made headlines as the first female champion in the 50th edition of the race and secured her place as an Olympic alternate at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the heart of the event lies in its community focus. The Crown City Classic serves as a fundraiser for the Islander Sports Foundation (ISF), a Coronado-based charity dedicated to supporting local school sports programs.
The ISF began as a booster club 20 years ago, with a mission to sustain and fund all sports programs in Coronado schools. It continues to thrive thanks to the dedication and support of Coronado families, businesses and the community. As runners cross the finish line, they know that their efforts contribute to a cause that fuels the dreams of young athletes in the community.
A Race Like No Other
This year’s course for the 12K is a runner's dream, flat and fast, winding through picturesque Glorietta Boulevard and south past the iconic Navy Amphibious Base. The bike path offers expansive views of the Pacific Ocean, leading to a scenic turnaround point just past the Silver Strand Nature's Bridge to Discovery. It's a course that captures the spirit of Coronado, inviting runners to soak in the beauty while racing toward their goals.
For elite athletes, the race serves as a platform to showcase their talents and push their limits. And if a 5K feels more your speed, the shorter course is perfect for those seeking a leisurely run or walk. The Crown City Classic is more than a race — it's an experience, a tradition that embraces camaraderie and community. What a fantastic way to kick off your Independence Day celebrations.
Adding to the excitement, participants can pre-purchase exclusive "Team Stars" or "Team Stripes" jerseys, giving them a
stylish way to represent their team on race day. The jerseys serve as a patriotic keepsake and a visible way to show support for your chosen side. And for those looking for a bit more incentive, there's a cash reward of $100 each for the 1st Male and 1st Female winners in both the 5K and 12K races, provided they're wearing their team jerseys. While joining a team is optional, this new twist adds a vibrant layer of spirit to the event, encouraging participants to run with pride, passion, and maybe a little bit of playful competition.
Join the Tradition
Whether you're a seasoned runner, a family with kids, or simply looking for a fun way to kick off Independence Day, the Crown City Classic offers an unforgettable experience. So lace up your running shoes, bring your friends and family, and join a tradition that has stood the test of time. After all, there's no better way to start the Fourth of July than with a dash of history, a touch of patriotism, and a whole lot of heart.

IN COLLABORATION WITH CORONADO HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
CORONADO HIGH SCHOOL AND THE PAST
BY CAROL PASTOR, CORONADO HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION VOLUNTEER PHOTOS COURTESY OF CORONADO HISTORICAL ASSOCIATIONMay was a month of college graduations throughout the country. Here in Coronado June is the significant month noted for Coronado High School’s graduation. Cutler Field is the scene of one evening of not only graduation but an abundance of frivolous action on the behalf of the almost graduates.
Let us take a moment back in time. We have only one high school here in the village which began in 1913. That building was demolished in 1939 with the new one constructed under President Roosevelt’s WPA program. The site has been added on to or renovated again in 1961 and 2006. In more recent years graduation night would see between 250 and 275 happy graduates. This evening also honors those who have come for their 50th year reunion.
In many families generations have become graduates of CHS. There are a few well known names that are easy to recognize but what of the other many thousands of graduates over the past hundred plus years.
Here are some of the many quiet ones who have gone on after graduation to excel in a number of various fields.
Looking back through the history of CHS there were many who distinguished themselves in the military — not surprising since we are a military town. One would expect to see some follow in the footsteps of their parents and grandparents.
Being southern California our students have always had a multitude of sports in which to participate. Layne Beaubien played water polo and was in the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Olympics gold medalist in 2008. Likewise Genai Kerr, a water polo player was In the 2004 Olympics. Jesse Smith, a five-time Olympian was also a silver medalist in 2008. He and his family now live in Coronado where he now coaches at Coronado High School.
Chris Clarey chose not to play sports but to write about them. He was a sports journalist for the New York Time for
over 30 years until he decided to devote his time to writing, authoring a book on tennis great Roger Federer.
Turning now to other fields what about Robbie Haines who sailed since childhood, taking a gold in 1984 in sailing. He has now worked for over twenty years with the Disney family in their ventures. He and his wife Amy were among those in 2022 celebrating their 50th reunion at CHS graduation.
Paris Henken is another sailing Olympian. You can follow her in the Paris Olympics 2024 where she will be participating.
Turning now to more of our CHS graduates lets take a look at the movie industry and some of our other authors. Lisa Bruce, now a film producer has many films to her credits. She has done over seven films, most noted The Theory of Everything. William Whitney was an earlier
movie director producing films back in the 1930s until the 1960s. James Maslow, a product of CoSA has been known as actor, dancer and singer both on stage and TV. Karlyn Pipes who was known as a master level swimmer is probably better known today as an author and speaker on swim techniques. One other author who must be recognized is Ted Nulty, who became a marine sharpshooter, following career in security until the writing bug took hold. A good read is his book The Locker which takes place in San Diego. Are you old enough to remember such groups as the Kingston Trio playing clubs and cutting records? Nick Renolds, a founding member of the group grew up here and later lived here after he stopped playing.
Going completely to another direction there is Celina Mikolajczak who became a battery engineer and amateur astronomer. And lastly Alan G. Poindexter who was a NASA astronaut.
Remember these are only a handful of those who have gone on from Coronado High School. There are no doubt many educators who should be on this list as well as doctors and lawyers and maybe some judges. That may be a topic for another time.
Until then, HAPPY GRADUATION TO YOU ALL.

Pozole
San
Pozole ranks among the great brothy foods, along with ramen and pho'.
A bowl of hominy provides warm comfort and is a ray of sunshine on a gloomy June day.
Pozole, a hearty but not-too-heavy stew with an unthickened broth, is not a soup. There’s a difference between a soup and a stew. Soup is heavy on liquid and light on solids, while stew is the reverse. Pozole contains pork (sometimes chicken), hominy, and often chiles. Hominy is corn that has gone through the nixtamalization process, which involves soaking and cooking the kernels in an alkaline solution. The result gives the corn a puffy, slightly chewy texture. The taste is intensified and becomes less like corn and more like freshly made tortillas.
Depending on the chilies and other ingredients, pozole has three main classifications: verde, rojo, and blanco. Pozole Rojo gets its color from dried chilis, often a combination of guajillos and anchos. Pozole Verde receives its hue from tomatillos and cilantro, sometimes radish tops, and uses fresh chilies like serranos or jalapenos. Pozole Blanco often has no chiles in the broth. If one wants more heat, chili powder or a simple habanero relish can be added at service.
Part of the fun of pozole is the toppings. There are so many ways to doctor up your bowl. The typical topping choices are shredded cabbage, sliced radishes, dried Mexican oregano, cilantro, diced white onions, lime wedges, avocado, and tostadas for some crunch.
This Mexican stew has ancient Aztec origins, serving as communion on feast days. Corn was sacred to the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica, so pozole was used to celebrate special occasions. And it still is today.
Dust off your favorite sweater and tuck into a steaming bowl of hominy; it is perfect for warming your soul on a rainy day. Now that you have the intel on this local favorite, I will leave you with six local spots to get a good bowl. We have several fun versions on the island, but all the others I mention over the bridge warrant the drive. Comfort foods are always worth a road trip.
There are some great recipes for pozole out there. I love the Rancho Gordo Pozole
Book by Steve Sando. Dried hominy from Rancho Gordo can be found at Specialty Produce on Hancock Street or fresh hominy can be found at Northgate Market in Barrio Logan. I have used canned hominy in a pinch, but dried or fresh hominy is always better. The fresh stuff is more challenging, but you can find it right over the bridge for those of us in Coronado. Warning: A trip to Specialty Produce or Northgate Market will result in a full shopping cart.

ADU Design
By Jessica Nicolls + Karyn Molina Construction: Nicolls ConstructionAccessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have become increasingly popular over the last decade and offer additional living space and potential rental income for homeowners. In the realm of home renovations, few projects are as rewarding as transforming an underutilized space into a functional living area. We just completed this recent remodel of a garage into an ADU and really showcased how a small footprint can be maximized for comfort and convenience.
The primary challenge of this project was obviously the limited space available to create a functioning home. Our main goal was to create a fully functional kitchen area. We did a small island with seating to serve as the “dining area” and were able to fit in a full size refrigerator, dishwasher and stove. With this open layout we were able to maximize cabinet storage and flow.
In the hallway to the bathroom we did a stacking washer and dryer to one side and an open pantry on the other. The bathroom has a small footprint so we went with a vanity with some storage for toiletries. Since the space was smaller we kept the colors light and bright. The open bedroom/living room area was the trickiest to layout. We ended up doing a full size closet next to the bed and putting the couch area at the end of the bed so you can view the TV from the bed or sofa.
We just love how this little space transformed from a dark garage to a light, bright and airy tiny home.

CHS STUDENTS DESIGN HISTORICAL “ART OUTSIDE THE BOX – TAKE 3”
FOR ORANGE AVENUE UTILITY BOXES
By Jeanmarie BondCommunications
CommissionerThe aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance,” according to Aristotle. This is exactly what seven astute Coronado High School students kept top of mind when tasked with creating new artwork for the ten utility boxes spanning SR75 through the center of town. Driving along Orange Avenue, we’ve all seen the colorful and creative images wrapped around what would be otherwise drab and lackluster traffic signal boxes owned and operated by California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). They were originally wrapped with designs created by local students seven years ago in a cooperative effort between Coronado Unified School District and the Coronado Cultural Arts Commission.
The current artwork has survived beyond their expected lifetime of five to six years, the wraps surrounding these boxes were at the end of their natural “shelf life,” and in need of replacement. Given our community’s intense pride in its public art installations, collegiality among its non profit organizations, and depth of creativity and talent in its student population, it was a given that the Coronado Historical Association (CHA), Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA), Coronado Cultural Arts Commission, and Coronado Unified School District (CUSD) would partner together to accomplish the goal of creating new artistic designs to bring these whimsical, weather-worn structures back to life. Dubbed “Art Outside the Box – Take 3,” this collaborative endeavor provides a win-win for the city, with the installation of new public art created by CHS students coming this summer.
The CUSD partnership makes complete sense, since Coronado High School offers a unique student internship program, whereby students partner with select local businesses, organizations, and non profits to learn about the industry aspects of their assigned entity and gain valuable workplace experience while completing meaningful projects. This is in addition to their day-to-day academic activities, and each student earns graduation credits for their work.
“The goal of Art Outside the Box is to inspire and promote Coronado’s amazing student artists while turning generic utilty boxes into works of art,” states Arts Administrator Kelly
Purvis who supports the Coronado Cultural Arts Commission for the city. Likewise, “The vision is that by using these generic boxes as a ‘canvas’ for local young artists, they will create a beautiful, safe, and interesting ‘gallery’ for pedestrians and commuters along the main thoroughfare of Coronado.” But the seven CHS students selected to tackle this project took their responsibilities one step farther by researching the cultural and historical significance of each of the nine locations housing these boxes, then digitally enhancing the images through color pops in an effort to create artistic images germane to each site.
In partnership with the CHA, students gained access to the museum’s rich archive of documents, photos, and resources, and were tasked with determining how each box’s location played a part in the development
and culture of Coronado. Students then selected a variety of archival images relevant to each location’s historical significance, that were vetted and approved by Coronado Cultural Arts Commission and CHA assigned judges. The designs were approved by the Coronado City Council and also require review and approval by Caltrans.
Starting at the eastern most location along Orange Avenue, CHS Sophomore Griffin Wong’s assigned boxes were at the corners of Third Street and Orange, and Fourth Street and Orange. According to his research and analysis, “In our small town of Coronado lies one of the biggest Navy bases in the United States. One bay bridge lies between the rest of the world and the North Island Naval Base. Third and Fourth Streets connect the bridge and North Island and are the main ways for people getting on and off the island.”
(1) This Curtiss HS-2 single-engine flying boat was built for the Navy during WWI and remained in use with the Navy until 1928. (3) Miss Bunny’s preschool class enjoys the final trip of this Coronado Ferry during its last day of service on August 1, 1969. (9) Gerry’s Coffee Shop opened in 1942, and was named Clayton’s in 1978 under the new ownership of Clayton Rice. (10) La Avenida Café in its heyday was a popular spot for Coronado locals and tourists alike.Recognizing that these intersections are vital gateways, Wong focused on historical photos reflecting the significance that North Island has played in the development of Coronado. One such image is a Curtiss HS-2 single engine flying boat (1) with several of its assigned Navy personnel perched on top, while the other a Navy helicopter (2) from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron flying over the newly opened Coronado Bridge.
Because Fourth is the thoroughfare connecting drivers to the bridge, and Miss Bunny MacKenzie founded CHA, Wong astutely selected a photo of Miss Bunny’s preschool class, originally housed at 411 Orange, taking a ride on the Coronado Ferry (3) during its last day of service on August 1, 1969. He also selected the photo of a trolley running down the center of Orange Avenue, (4) connecting the Ferry Landing to Tent City and a significant means of transportation in Coronado’s early years.
Heading westward on Orange are utility boxes at the intersections of Sixth and Tenth, where CHS Junior Mason Deane paid homage
to the signficance of Spreckels Park by selecting a photo of the 1939 Junior Traffic Patrol (5) in the park enjoying slices of cake meticulously cut by local dignitaries. Also featured is the Old Adobe Hut (6), a dwelling constructed in Spreckels Park for Elisha S. Babcock Junior during the city’s infancy. This structure boasted two-foot-thick walls, a beamed ceiling, and corner fireplace for warmth on winter nights. Also selected for that box is a photo of Coronado High School’s 1923 football team (7), practicing not far from this site.
At Tenth and Orange, home to what is now Chase Bank, Deane highlighted The Free Brothers Market (8), that previously occupied this space and is one of the most notable historic businesses in Coronado. Founded by Charles Free, a WWII Veteran who spent months interned as a Prisoner of War in Poland, this market served the Coronado community for 22 years. As it still is today, the corner was a popular spot for Fourth of July parade viewing, hence the historic photo circa 1960 with a bikini clad beauty riding a Lions Club float in front of the market. Deane also selected an archival photo of what is now Clayton’s Coffee
(4) Trolley cars once traversed Orange Avenue from the Ferry Landing to Tent City and were a significant form of transportation decades before the Coronado Bridge opened. (5) Coronado’s Junior Traffic Patrol enjoy cake at a party for the boys hosted in Spreckels Park. (6) This Old Adobe Hut, built in Spreckels Park for Elisha S.

(17) The Oxford Hotel, which was the first hotel opened in Coronado, was moved to the grounds of the Hotel Del Coronado in 1983.Shop (9) located at that same intersection. Originally opened in 1942 as Gerry’s Coffee Shop, its name was later changed to Clayton’s.
Down the street, in the 1300 block of Orange Avenue, stood La Avendia Café (10), established in 1938 and featuring Spanish-Revival architecture. Saved from demolition through advocacy work by CHA, this colloquial building still stands there today. According to CHS Senior Jasmine Lo, “The La Avenida Building is a reminder of art and identity that is deeply rooted in Coronado culture.”
Just across the street, in what is now the site of the Bank of America, stood the Carlton Hotel. Setting up shop inside this hotel was the groundbreaking photographer Lou Goodale Bigelow, a female artist renowned for producing distinctive portraits, like the one selected of Marie Titus Adams and her dog, Smokey (11). Lo noted that, “Lou Bigelow lived from 1884 to 1968, pioneering a path for female representation in photograpy by contributing to the breaking of traditional social norms.”
At the corner of Pomona and Orange Avenue, Lo selected historical photos from Glorietta Bay (12), the Japanese Tea Gardens (13) on the John D. Spreckels family property (which is now the Glorietta Bay Inn), and the early Coronado Country Club golf course (14).
Completing this paradigm of “Art Outside the Box” are renderings selected by CHS Junior Sophia Hodges, at Avenida del Sol and Silver Strand Boulevard, as well
(11) Marie Titus Adams and her dog, Smokey, photographed by Lou Goodale Bigelow circa 1920. (14) Golf has been a popular sport in Coronado for almost about 100 years.as Avenida de Las Arenas just down the street. Due to their proximity to the Hotel Del Coronado and original Tent City location, Hodges carefully selected antiquated photos showing the importance and significance of Coronado’s beach resort beginnings, from fanciful patrons of the Hotel Del (15) (16) and transport of the Oxford Hotel to Del property (17), to tourists enjoying donkey rides on the beach (18) and the majestic dance hall (19) that once lit up the night sky at Tent City.
Once selected, the photos were graphically configured to fit the perimeter of each of these steel structured boxes, which was no small feat given their multi-angular design. Then to add vitality and intrigue, CoSA senior graphic design students Juniper Clark, Jocain Howard, and Rebekka Siquieros used their creative talents to add “pops of color” to the original images, adding interest and life to each. Summing up this innovative partnership between CHA, CoSA, the Coronado Cultural Commission and CUSD, CHS Senior Jasmine Lo makes an excellent point: “In analyzing community history, we shape our present. We highlight stories that could otherwise be forgotten by intersecting history with research and art.”

Pearls of Wisdom
By Kim Johnson, RN Community College of Beaver County, PAGraduating Class of 1985
We often pat new graduates on the shoulder, and tell them, “You can do anything you want, the world is your oyster,” but a young mind doesn’t always know what that might entail. The saying slips so easily from the tongue, offers well intentioned enthusiasm, but to a person who enters the world without a clear direction, it can leave one overwhelmed and confused, wondering why “anything you want to do” seems so elusive.
When it was my turn to plan a future, the choices seemed daunting. It was an Army recruiter who opened my eyes to exciting possibilities; I saw a new beginning unfold. Besides the obvious travel and adventure opportunities, the option to serve my country offered a way to make a living while I found a career that highlighted my strengths and tolerated my weaknesses. With my limited life experience, those aspects of my personality would need closer attention.
Upon my military discharge, I assumed various roles, in the workplace, jobs that helped me understand my preferences and respect my shortcomings. Like a pearl, starting as a simple grain of sand in the belly of an oyster, I needed time to grow and develop. That slow, but steady evolution would prepare me for my future role in the healthcare profession. As I pursued a degree in nursing, I found compassion and thoughtfulness to be my strengths, two values that would feed my heart and benefit my patients.
After thirty-seven years serving my community, I now search for new meaning, trying to identify the pathway to this retirement phase of living. As I navigate each day, I appreciate those little pearls of wisdom, those bits of knowledge offered, that allow me to steer my course while finding relief in serendipitous moments that help me let go of logic and follow my heart. So this time, when I hear the expression, “You can do anything you want, the world is your oyster,” I see myself as a single pearl, intertwined within a sea of nurses - a well-rounded, cultured gem who adds strength to an elegant strand of pearls, one tightly-knotted and able to withstand the test of time.
