How could we find time to fulfill our responsibilities toward our employers and still find leisure time for ourselves? How were we able to maintain our religious beliefs when so much in our society negated those tenets? And how did we survive when the currents of self, family, and community merged into our lives? School proved to be the catalyst that brought our responsibilities of self, family, and community to a head. It was where we learned to paddle our own canoes.
