She followed in the footsteps of her mother and aunts when she pursued a degree in education. Later on, her service to her community took a different direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beginning of Nairn\u2019s career was laced with intense difficulty. \u201cThe transitions and changes, they don\u2019t ever come to an end if you\u2019re a schoolteacher,\u201d she said. The curriculum for Ohio was constantly changing \u2014 kindergarten wasn\u2019t required until the 1990s \u2014 leaving educators to adapt to having more than three dozen children in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI really valued my education from Transy \u2014 I think that it was really cutting-edge for the time, and it helped me with the difficulties I faced later in my career,\u201d Nairn continued. The university was \u201cdoing things that not many other schools were doing, like using video recordings of our lessons for us to watch and learn from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nairn eventually decided she didn\u2019t want to still be teaching when she was 60, so she retired at 59. Wanting to continue doing work that was important to her, Nairn jumped at the chance when she was asked to be a part of a small cemetery board in South Russell Village, Ohio, in 2008.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a part of the group, she helped put together the only new municipal cemetery in the U.S. at that time. Once this project was finished, she was elected to a seat on the village council and joined multiple other committees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI enjoyed the connectivity to my local government, and I\u2019ve learned a lot,\u201d Nairn said. But now she\u2019s moving on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While her work with the village has kept her busy in her professional life, she&#8217;s also been staying active in her personal life with herb gardening, joining a gardening club, volunteering, traveling abroad with her husband and driving to Marylnd to visit with her brand-new grandson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTransylvania, I think, is mainly the reason that I\u2019ve enjoyed life and been met with a decent amount of success,\u201d Nairn said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having faculty who work with students to find what they want from life is invaluable, and those she worked with while at Transylvania helped her find her path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Lillien Hudson &#8217;22 is a psychology major and work-study
