Happy Tuesday!  Thank you for joining me and Jenn for another edition of Tuesday Topics.  Remember to link up with us!  Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier!  Don’t forget to come back for later linkers! 

Here is another post with some interesting prompts in the Jetpack app.  Ready?

• Where did your name come from?  The name Zenaida typically means “the life of Zeus” or “born of Zeus”, referencing the Greek god Zeus.  It also has associations with “God-like” or “like God”, with origins in ancient Greece.

I was named after my grandmother, my dad’s mom.  He told my mother that he wanted me to be named after his mom.

• Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.  The furthest I’ve traveled is when I went on a cruise and traveled to Italy and France.  It was my first time on a cruise and for some reason I had watched the movie “Poseidon” and was freaking out about my trip.  I don’t remember why I watched that movie prior to my trip.

I think I was in Tuscany in the picture below.

• What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?  I remember my boss told me to save for my 401k.  This was at my second job after graduation.  She told me to save even a little bit because it will add up.  I started saving as soon as I could and am glad I followed her advice.

• What colleges have you attended?  Let’s see if I remember them all.  I graduated from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL.  I also went to Loyola University in Chicago.  I also went to a few community colleges-Harold Washington College and Kishwaukee College.

• What were your parents doing at your age?  My dad had passed away.  He was 49 when he died.  My mom was a few years younger when he died and became a widow.

The topic for next week – How do you stay active through the summer vacation season? We hope you’ll link up with us!
