She has, over the past twenty-five years, touched hundreds with her unique personal ideas and supportive teaching.
Coming from Prague to Texas was a lifelong journey. During that time, she had to make several major decisions. She was only nineteen with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. With one foot out, she was ready to go and participate in rowing in the 1976 Montreal Olympics, the first year for women to compete in that sport. Fortunately, or not, that would have taken her to Canada; she would not be here, and her story would be quite “different.”
At that young age, she felt that the entire city of Prague belonged to her! Prague was her home, her inspiration, her everything. Every day, walking to work, she was hopping from blue cobblestone to blue cobblestone, skipping on the white ones, crossing Wenceslas Plaza and the Old Square Plaza, humming melodies of Johann Strauss’s waltzes. Happy, happy she was.
Then one day, her employer at work had to pick one out of the four-person office to join the Communist Party. Unfortunately, she was the best pick for him. Young, full of energy, and enthusiastic was she. When he announced the news, it was a black day for her. She did not want to be involved in the party. Communism had taken everything that her parents had worked for all their lives. She did not know what to do. Everything in her life seemed to have come to an end.
A year later and after a long struggle to obtain a visa, she got an airline ticket marked “Prague–Frankfurt” and a train ticket marked “Frankfurt–Baden-Baden–Paris.” Her lifelong journey had begun.vizualizați mai puține
