Here’s the first round of Q&A:

Q: I read you played football at Western High School. What position?
A: Running back and safety. I was one of the smallest players on the team, so I had to work extra hard to hold my own against the big guys. Plus it didn’t hurt that I was faster than most!

Q: I’m thinking of going back to college to get my undergraduate degree, but it’s been 12 years since I’ve been in school. Was it difficult for you to go back after 15 years?
A: The hardest thing was getting back into the studying mode, and finding the time to do the homework, read the assigned text, and cram for those finals. After all those years, I found that my desire for knowledge hadn’t dulled one bit. It took some time to get back into the groove, but I found once I settled down, I learned that you can teach an old dog new tricks! I’m proud to say that in my 23 classes at UNLV, I received 22 A’s and one B. And thanks, Mom, for your inspiration!

Q: I haven’t registered to vote, but I think I will this year because the issues seem so important. How do I register?
A: I’m glad you are taking this step. So many people think their vote doesn’t count, yet elections are frequently decided by a handful of votes which in turn affects the direction our representatives take. Please take a look at my Voting Information page on this site. I’ve listed a number of ways you can register to vote. I’ve also listed important dates to remember. And thanks for registering—and voting!
