thu tennis might keep me out of
trouble, and it did. I played com
petitively throughout high school
and m college at Appaladnan State
University During my senior year.
I observed a trainable special
meeds- class and inunediatety knew
mail life's- caning- I pm down my
enrns- racket and went to work
neacfwnmg exceptional cMJdBem My
students were wonderful to me and
I was- honored to accompany them
on their life's- journeys- for a short
period of time. I had no hoMtes
because I was- totally consumed by
my charges.”
About a year after leaving teach
ing- Horn took an art class taught
by Eckie Knight- “1 found out lean
palmar” she said- “I also decided to
recapture my youth and play tenuis
after a 30 year break- The other
players made me feel welcome and
pm up with my game until it pro
gressed- It has taken me 54 years
to realize that we don't travel
along cane rood but mam. and at
times you pass yourself conning
ini gotng- Through the kindness
of others, you find your way- I
found my way through the cama
raderie of my friends on the tennis
court and in my art class.
