Suna Flores is a granny in her eighties. She has been playing and working with humanity for a very long time, and she has loved it all. But she believes that it’s time for folks to read a good story about some of the people she has seen…and think about who they are…and why they are.
Suna thought she wanted to be an actress and a writer when she graduated from Michigan State University, but she decided to be a teacher, instead. Life is long, she thought. I can write and act later, right?
As compelling as becoming a teacher was, a love life and becoming the mother of four kept acting and writing on a back burner for years, The enjoyment of guiding her own family as well the children of her classes was more than enough to love. A “Lifetime Teaching Credential” awarded by then Governor Reagan was her reward for her teaching skills. Good sons and daughters were an even more important reward.
A teaching career lead next to counseling, however. Why? Because she could take more time with her family and each person she worked with individually. “My years as a counselor for persons with disabilities was a path to discovering the resilience of the human spirit,” she has told her friends. “In a way, vocational counseling was like creative writing with real, human characters as co-writers.” For this reason, she added to her expertise with a master’s degree in human services to take on leadership positions in DVR.
