Carolyn Coote (Russell) - the last 40 years

Occupation/s? Tell us what you have been doing
Teaching. Studied in Germany and Italy and taught there for some time. Also spent quite a lot of time in South America in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile.
What would you tell your 1977 self if you could send them a message now?
Don't let stuff worry you ahead of time. You'll cope with it. Most people in this world are good. Value your friendships. Experiences are more important than material possessions.
What would you like to share about the last 40 years?
Travel is the best thing for broadening the mind. Spending time with my family and friends makes life enjoyable. Staying out of a rut has always been my main aim in life and appreciating the great lifestyle it is possible to achieve in Australia.
What are you proudest of about your life? What have been your greatest achievements?
My two children. One now in Melbourne and one in Holland. Winning a national teaching award. I was stoked to receive the recognition but most teachers work their butts off until the late hours of the evening.
Any regrets?
No, not really. Just choose wisely.
