1. Where did the professor find the Yoga Frog? How did she react after finding it?
The frog was found at Cracker Barrel and the professor was intrigued by its stability, balance, and strength.
2. Why is the professor so interested in frogs?
Growing up the professor’s mom told her a prayer in Spanish that related to changing into something else as they grow. Frogs start out as tadpoles and change into something they didn’t intend to become, but they can leap into a new life and when you lose something, you always gain something else even if you don’t realize it right away.
3. When did the professor get the second frog? Who did she get it from? How did she react?
The professor got her second frog for Christmas. It was a gift from her children because she loves frogs. She was not very enthused because it was a stern business frog; it wasn’t fun like the yoga frog. Her kids explained that it was to help the professor jump into the next part of her life; the professor was not thrilled because she is happy where she is in life now.

5. Why did the professor start taking pictures with her students? How did this benefit Alex and his family?
