Sonya Lenz

Sonya Lenz of Slippery Rock said her mother gave her a lot of advice.It ranged from, “Don’t ask of others what you can’t or won’t do yourself,” to, “Even the boss takes a turn cleaning the bathroom.”However, one piece of advice stands out the most.“Accept, try, learn. People have ways that may be different from yours, their ways are not wrong, their ways are different, educate yourself about them. If you like their ways, you can adopt them within your life. If you don’t, then at least you know.”She said she applies this to everything from trying new foods to extreme sports.
