Smart & Practical, Collette Szymborski Wasn't Afraid of Change

Growing up a bookworm allowed Collette Szymborski to let her mind run free. She was studious, and got good grades, but reading was her escape. Growing up in the Sacramento, CA area, one of her first escapes happened while in high school when she became an exchange student and spent six months in Spain.

As Collette recalls her life, she talks about knowing what she wanted out of life, and why she chose the path she did. Part of what she wanted later in life, was out of Sacramento and the big city life. She got out, way out.
