MA: So when you were in high school, what were some of your goals, or, I mean, career goals, or hopes for the future?

CT: I don't really remember. I know, I know that when we were younger, in our family it wasn't, "Are you going to college?" it was just, "Where are you going to go?" So it was pretty expected. But I think that's pretty much most Japanese American families, is that education was pretty much a high priority. So you just, I just knew that I wanted to go into a field that was more people-oriented. And so that was the direction that I went, and have worked in that area with kids and doing therapy.

MA: And what college did you attend?

CT: First I went to Colorado Women's College, and then I went to University of Colorado. And then I got my Bachelor's and my Master's at University of Denver.

MA: And what was the field that you went into?

CT: Oh, speech pathology and audiology, and minor in education. And still working at it today. I'm retired, but I still go back two days a week and work in the school district.
