Lake Bluff's Own Mother Teresa "Mrs. Albrecht"

When I first contacted Mrs. Albrecht a year ago, i was looking for a place to move in close to Lake Forest College, where i go for a Pre-Medical program. Not knowing then that Mrs. Albrecht will offer me far more than a place to stay; a home. Mrs. Albrecht was in her 70's then, and she was in the business of offering people with purposes in life rooms in her own house to help them achieve their goals. Mostly people in the navy going to the navy bases nearby, and medical students attending Rosalind Franklin school or lake Forest College. We were the primer beneficiary of Mrs. Albrecht's nonprofit enterprise. I started the business in the 90's Mrs. Albrecht said when she was telling me about her story of success. I have had many people over the years from all over the nation living in this house she said. Many of them are either doctors or navy seals at this time she added. Do you know what's my goal in life she asked me when I first moved in? What is it Mrs. Albrecht I answered! She said my purpose is to help my boys achieve their goals and thrive in their careers and personal lives. How many boys do you have, i asked? She said well now since you moved in they just became six, she answered. Mrs. Albrecht never had boys, but she was referring to us people living with her as her boys. 2 months ago I took Mrs. Albrecht to the ER after she went an ablation procedure few weeks earlier. It turned out that she have had some complications in the procedure and needed a second heart surgery, few weeks later Mrs. Albrecht passed away. She left me me submerged with a great deal of sadness and grief, but above all a determination to finish what Mrs. Albrecht have started. i plan to get help and buy the house to make a nonprofit organization out of it, keeping students and navy soldiers benefiting from the project that she have started long time ago. By following the same rules she initiated, and by allowing her "sons" to keep achieving their goals, i will make sure that one day her efforts will be honored, and the house will be a memorial to recognize her great American soul, and keep life pulsing through the house's walls.
