The last thing I learned
What is the last thing you learned? I am going to pivot on this subject. Learning is a continuous process but what keeps me humble and grateful is the fact that I have to own my decisions. Whatever I do is on me and no one else. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
The one question I hate to be asked
What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain. The question I hate to be asked is: Where are you from? People seem to think that they possess the ability to grade others according to where they are from. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
