What did you do today?
Is anybody happier because you passed this way?
Does anyone remember that you spoke today?
The day is almost over, and its toiling time is through:
Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?
Can you say tonight in parting with the day that's slipping fast,
That you helped a single person of the many that you passed?
Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said?
Does the one whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead?
Did you waste the day or use it? Was it well or sorely spent?
Did you leave a trail of kindness, or a scar of discontent?
As you close you eyes in slumber, do you think that you can say:
You have earned one more tomorrow by what you did today?

"To dance, above all, is to enter into the motions of life. It is an
action, a movement, a process. The dance of life is not so much a
metaphor as a fact; to dance is to know oneself alone and to celebrate
it."
--Sherman Paul
Statistical thinking will one day be as necessary a qualification for
efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write.
--H.G. Wells
I also have a plethora of other quotes.
I received my bachelor's degree in Statistics and Economics from the
University of Rochester
in 1994 with a certificate in Actuarial Studies, a certificate in Management
Studies of Information Systems, and a citation of special acheivement in
Mathematical Economics. I spent a fifth year under a special program
called the Take Five doing multilingual studies (Spanish, Hebrew, American
Sign Language and French).
In May 1996, I completed my Master's degree with the
Department of Statistics
at
Carnegie Mellon University
in
Pittsburgh, PA
where I was nominated for the 1996 Carnegie Mellon University Graduate Student Teaching Award.
I moved to Boston and took a job at
New England Research Institutes
as a Biostatistician on the Virology Quality Assurance Project and the Hemophilia Growth and Development Study and was the statistical computing expert.
Most recently, I began the Ph.D. in Biostatistics program at Boston University School of Public Health
and am working at the Data Coordinating Center there as a Statistical Analyst.
