The members of the Uintah School Foundation define excellence excel-lence and commitment this way: "The result of caring more than others oth-ers think is wise; risking more than others think is practical and expecting expect-ing more than others think is possible possi-ble is excellence. The difference between interest and commitment is that when you are interested in doing something, you do it only when it is convenient.

"Revel in your what?" was my reaction. I had no idea what idiosyncrasies were, but they certainly didn't sound like anything I wanted to revel in. Eventually I learned that idiosyncrasies idiosyn-crasies are the little quirks, mannerisms, manner-isms, and personal peculiarities that make each of us unique. A light bulb came on. "A-ha," I thought. "No wonder Mom wants to revel in her idiosyncrasies. She has a ton!" My mother is to earrings what Imelda Marcos is to shoes. She speaks fluent Pig Latin, has her own rubber vomit, delights in collecting col-lecting Halloween costume accessories, acces-sories, strikes up conversations with strangers standing in line at the grocery store, and is the best pie-maker in Northern Utah. And she's proud of it. You might think my Mom sounds like a nut. She is. You might also wonder how all of this ties into parenting. par-enting. I'll tell you. Parents who revel in their idiosyncrasies id-iosyncrasies send their children the message that being different isn't just okay, it's wonderful. This, in turn, can give kids the ability to accept, ac-cept, even celebrate, their own unique traits and abilities. "All right," you say. "So we each have idiosyncrasies. But when do busy parents who are usually focused fo-cused on their kids get time to revel?" rev-el?" Truth is, it takes time, planning, plan-ning, and a little patience.

This, combined with the influence of older old-er brothers who meticulously cared for their cars, left her with a love for classy automobiles. The summer before she got married, mar-ried, Katherine worked in Ann Harbor, Mich., and before coming home bought a brand new '67 Pontiac Firebird direct from Detroit. It was her first love. With marriage and children however, how-ever, the car soon spent more and more time parked in the garage. Eventually, the Stevens sold the car and bought a vehicle that would fit their growing family. In spite of this, Katherine never stopped loving lov-ing her '67 Firebird. About four years ago Katherine tracked down her beloved car, now greatly in need of repair, and bought it. She had it restored to its original glory, complete with candy apple red paint, black vinyl top and red interior. Every year Katherine enters the car in a local cruise-in and enjoys seeing people do double-takes. Perhaps they're asking themselves, "What is a mild-mannered housewife house-wife doing with a car like that?" The answer is simple. She's just reveling in her idiosyncrasies!
