Hi Lori! Thank you for reading my paper. It's very interesting that you asked how my parents feel about the NSA. For the longest time I felt that my stuttering was never talked about, it was just accepted for what it was, aka the 800-lb gorilla that we know exists but don't want to acknowledge. My parents have now seen the NSA light a burning fire under me and they see how much I am in love with this organization. I wish they could see a conference up close and personal and experience it, but that is doubtful it will happen-I just don't know how comfortable they'd feel there. What's so amazing is there are many teammates who do make this a "family thing," because the NSA is a family. As for my career, I'm still working on it. Some of the most interesting thirtysomethings (I'm 31) still don't know what to do or what else is going on. But one thing remains constant: the NSA will be my faith, my rock, and my strength to do what is right!
