It was 4 yrs ago when ZUMBA changed my LIFE!. I was overweight and had high Blood Pressure. I was taking 2 medications for my high BP. I didnt like living this way. I was basically thin most of my Life but after having 3 kids I struggled. A friend begged me to go to this class with her, so I did! It was you guessed it, ZUMBA! I was hooked! I began taking two classes a week at the local gym, then was doing four, after about three months was taking about six. At first, I didnt see dramatic results, though, I did lose inches. Then, after about 3 months, is when I started noticing besides the inches, I was losing pounds. After two years of classes, my friends, LeeAnn and Laura, who are also Zumba Instructors, talked me into getting Certified. I did, and decided I wasnt going to teach right away, but I was approached, and was made an offer I couldnt refuse. I got to get to do what I LOVE and also get paid to do it! The Best of Both Worlds!

The Best thing about me teaching, I have found, is that I have given to people what was given to me! I have found my Happiness, my Health and Hope! If I made a difference in at least one of my Students Lives, I have done my Job! I have Succeeded ! I love teaching I enjoy my Students which are now part of my Extended Family!

I look to these Past few years and the people that have come into my Life through Zumba as my Saviors! Without them and Zumba I wouldnt be the Person I am today!
