About March 12 Wise Women Event
Norwood Middle School was very glad to have Patricia Schmidt come to tell
us about her life. The thing I was most impressed about was how many
times she changed profession, and just courses in general. It seemed
like she figured out that
when she came to the USA and saw how her and her boyfriend weren't
going to work out, she didn't turn back and say, 'Oh well. I guess I
need to go back to Germany.' She knew that she needed to build the rest
of her life from here. I have great respect for
all she's done for Siemens and her workers. I think that it's also cool
that she's teaching her kids of their heritage. If I had to say I was
inspired by one certain thing Patricia said, it would have to be that no
matter what, you just have to keep going.
It's a great moral to have in life. Thanks Patricia!
