Today's Spotlight is on ... Sue aka: SueMac, Susie, Snoozey, and Oi You! Occupation:  I am Learning Needs Advisor in a largish community College. This means that I identify students with disabilities and/or learning difficulties and then ascertain what they need to ensure that both their learning and environmental needs are met. I also read and scribe for such identified persons when they take exams and assist in putting together portfolios. This is a very demanding role and so far this academic year I have files on over 200 students. Family:  I have 3 grown sons from my first marriage which ended in divorce 6 years ago. They are Chris, 27; Dan, 25; and Andrew, 23. The youngest two still live with me but my eldest son lives with his partner and their 2 year old son just about a mile from me.  So I have one grandchild but that will become two in a few weeks and I will get my longed for little girl! My second husband left me about two and a half months ago. A terrible blow to me... but we are still on fairly friendly terms - so if anybody knows any magic spell or special prayers that are guaranteed to work - please send them my way.  Characteristic that describes you best:  I am a typical Tauean - born smack in the middle of that star sign. I am stubborn and fiercely loyal to those I care about. I can also suddenly be provoked to anger but it quickly subsides. I have a memory like a steel trap which is both a blessing and a curse. Interests/hobbies:  I read and write a lot for the BA Literature which I am currently studying towards. I like to write poetry and have sometimes written short stories but never submit anything. I love to travel but over the last few months that has fallen by the wayside. Been to the USA countless times as that is where my husband is from. I also love music and art ... I guess I am a creative person with an over-active imagination. Favourite Place:   Can I really choose a single favourite place? Nope, I will name a few off the top of my head - Madeira, Paris, Mackinaw Island, Taquamenon Falls, New York City, Chicago, and London. Proudest Accomplishment:   I used to sing professionally until I married my first husband. I still loved to sing but he did not think it an appropriate career for me. Later in my mid forties the telecoms company where I worked decided to form a band to do a couple of performances and raise money for charity. I auditioned and got the lead female vocals. No one really knew about me singing and they were surprised at the first concert. That night people were coming up to me and expressing their surprise and telling me to get back into it professionally. The next day I had a stream of emails from people. It was just wonderful. We did one further concert and then that was it but I felt very, very proud of myself. Future Goal:  Peace and happiness for myself and those I care about. I also want to rediscover the young girl inside me - she kind of lost her way lately.
