Many of you may only know Dr. Stacy Rosenthal as the quiet, reserved, library know-it-all she is, but she has some very interesting and admirable outside of school hobbies.
Dr. Rosenthal has worked as a teacher for 12 years, nine of them being at Council Rock. She earned her Bachelor of Arts Degree from Penn State University, her Master of Education Degree with a concentration in Library Science from Arcadia University, and her Doctorate in Educational Administration from Temple University.
Outside of school Dr. Rosenthal enjoys doing stuff around her house, trying new restaurants, watching sports (a Philadelphia sports fan, of course), and traveling. Last, but definitely not least, Dr. Rosenthal enjoys running.
Dr. Rosenthal aspires to run a marathon in every state. This inspiration comes from Dr. Rosenthal's colleague, retired social studies teacher Randy Maugle, who has ran a marathon in every state and after this summer every continent.
She began running just as a means to stay in shape and never imagined herself completing a marathon. It seemed as if only “elites” could finish as marathon until she had done so herself. One day on a run Dr. Rosenthal ran into a childhood friend who had also gotten into running herself. This friend motivated Dr. Rosenthal to stay persistent, and before she knew it, Dr. Rosenthal had finished her very first marathon.
When Maugle visited Dr. Rosenthal the week after her first marathon, he had many words of encouragement and eliminated any lingering self-doubt Dr. Rosenthal had. He assured her she could do anything she set her mind to.
When asked to describe her favorite marathon Dr Rosenthal said:
“Each marathon has provided me with a different experience. My first was exhilarating. I was extremely happy to have my mom and some friends cheer me on during the race and it was awesome to have them there to fall into their arms when I finished. I quickly realized that while I was the one who earned the finisher’s medal, I could not have done it alone. The second one was amazing. To see a person with a disability (her visually impaired friend, whom she guided) accomplish something that was such a challenge for me the first time and know that I was able to help him do that was unbelievable."
In the near future, Dr. Rosenthal hopes to help her visually impaired friend qualify for the Boston Marathon, for herself to qualify, and to run a marathon in all fifty states.
On behalf of The Hawk Eye, we wish you the best of luck and know you can do it!
