Martha DiPalma

My name is Martha DiPalma. I was born in Boston, Massachusetts in the Mass General Hospital. My parents' names were James and Flora Yarborough. I have a younger brother named John who lives in Tennessee.

I enjoy taking trips. I have been to Alaska. It was exciting to go there because of the natural wildlife and beautiful scenery. I have also been to Maine which also has beautiful scenery and wildlife. I also enjoy singing. I am a member of AMICCO, which is the Anna Maria Island Community Chorus and Orchestra and I am a member of the choir at the First Church of the Nazarene.

An exciting time in my life was when our first grandchild was born. When I look at my grandchildren I see the past (they remind me of my children), the present (they are just their own special little people), and the future (they represent what will be happening for years to come).Our two grandsons, Mikey & Josh

I enjoy being creative. I also enjoy tutoring people in their homes with their computers. I hope to continue doing that even when I retire from teaching in a few years.

A dream of mine would be to one day have a business that designs webpages. I would also like to volunteer helping people in less fortunate circumstances.

My favorite Bible verse is Romans 8:28, "For we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."
