You are the author of your next chapter.

A valued friend, mother, co-worker, neighbor, relative. A person you want in your inner circle. This is Darci Shin. Darci and I have been friends for 35 years. This lady has been an asset to me since we became co-workers at a social service agency.

Darci is a very knowledgeable woman, and she will always make time to listen and help anyone who wants her assistance. She thrives in implementing her knowledge to find a solution for anyone struggling with a problematic situation. Darci is a solid citizen who will stand up for truth and fairness. Our world today needs more leaders like Darci. Her dignity and integrity are two outstanding qualities she lives by.

I have known Darci for over thirty years, first as a co-worker in Ironwood High School's Child-Oriented Occupational Program. I was the Director, and she was a teacher and Coordinator in our on-campus preschool. Now she has become a lifelong friend.

Darci's job was to provide a safe environment that encouraged learning and social development in our four-year-old children. With our high school students, she was responsible for grading, monitoring, and modeling teaching and discipline skills. Communicating with parents, children, students, co-workers, and school staff was of critical importance. Proactive problem solving and behavior modification were two of her most appreciated talents.

I will always be thankful for her skills, wisdom, and support.
