(Can you imagine your mom teaching in your school? They handled it pretty well.) My oldest daughter\u00a0graduated from DHS in 2016 and got her mechanical engineering degree from Michigan Technological University in Houghton. My son graduated from DHS in 2019, and is currently serving in the United States Coast Guard. My youngest graduated from DHS in 2021 (quite a year) and is currently attending Wayne State University.<\/p>\n<p>My family\u00a0would probably tell you that teaching is my only hobby but I do have a few others\u2026maybe one or two. I love to read, especially biographies and memoirs, and also swim in our pool in the summer. Okay, so it\u2019s really more like floating in the pool. And I did a kitchen makeover this summer that I am really, really, really, really proud of.
