Curious Of The Ages Of The Providers

[SandeeAR]

I've only been on the forum for a short time, so I don't know much about any of you. I'm just curious, If your willing would you post your ages?

I have a feeling from the posts, that I am one of the oldest at 51.

Thanks!

Glad to hear a few of you close to my age LOL. I was afraid I was on here with a group of young folks only LOL.

I am 25 and just starting out! So excited!
I never post my pic on my website or in brochures because I have found that people judge me because I am young. I find that in lots of things I have to prove that I am educated and professional more than the (I say this lightly) older providers. I look like I am 20 but I did graduate from college and many do not think I am old enough.
