It's Never Too Late for Your Happy Ending - An Interview with Lori Kostro

Hello everybody!

Today I want to give you a short look at the life of one of my classmates, Lori. While interviewing Lori, she delivered me a deep insight into her life. She shared same important happenings with me, and was very open-minded the whole time.

Lori works at the customer service at a local electric company. Sponsored by her work, she had the opportunity to go back to school. So, since May she is majoring in Business Management at Cedar Crest College. Most courses she had until now have been online courses. Starting the other classes, Lori felt a little overwhelmed in the beginning, but she doesn't regret her choice to go back to college. She needs this degree so that she can reach an advanced position, e.g. as a supervisor, in her company. Before that job, Lori told me, she worked in health care service. 

Besides her career, there was a lot more going on in Lori's life. I got to know that Lori has two younger sisters and two younger brothers. The first three of them are close together in age, and grew up with each other. There is a big age difference to the last two. 

One of the most important parts in her life is Lori's son. He is 20 years old, so Lori was a young mom when he was born. We talked about his high school time, which Lori experienced as hell, because he hated school. Lori also described her parenting style to me. It didn't consist of many rules, except for no lying, and showing respect. Raising him as a single-mom because his father died when he was two years old, Lori maybe has an even deeper relationship to her son than other mothers do. He still lives very close to her, in his own apartment next to her house, both located on a farm they are living on. They just moved to this farm some months ago with Lori's new boyfriend. 

On this farm and in this relationship Lori feels like she finally gets her happy ending. The farm is very peaceful, they have a pond with snappy turtles in it, two cats, a dog, and plan to get horses. Lori is also thinking about growing vegetables to maybe make some money with selling them. And at some special places Lori even feels like close to heaven. 

I really want to thank Lori for sharing all this personal information with me and us! It was a pleasure to me to get to know you better, Lori.
