Donna's goal from early on was to explore. It started when she set off on her trike at three years old and was found two blocks away singing and peddling. Donna's childhood is a look at what it was like to grow up in a protected Catholic neighborhood in the '50s and '60s. Donna always thought opportunities presented should be opportunities taken. At twenty-one, she found herself in Europe for a month, and it changed her life. What else is there to see? she thought. But first things first, she had to finish college and get a job she could always fall back on. She found herself being in the right place at the right time many times in her life. Fear of change never held her back. Looking back, she is happy at a life explored.
