Unforgettable experience:

well.

Being Dean
of the Graduate School and the College of Arts. I had to deal with different
kinds of people, all highly educated and intelliegent as well students who
looked up to me not only as a Dean but mother, friend and mentor.
Do you enjoy doing your job? Why or why not?
Both. I
enjoy teaching and performing my job as administrator. But insincere friends
make me unhappy and wish I am out of the academe.
Which of the books you have written and published you really liked the most and why?
Whispers" from a Woman's Heart". It is a collection of my poems but yet to be published. The other one is "From the Fibers of My Mind", also for printing
