Joyce Brown:  

nurse/researcher anymore. Too many really smart people around me, all competing for the same jobs. I watched Tre make too much money from business and I was paying to learn to get a job that made less money. I still love health & biology, but I just incorporate it into my every day life ...as well as teach my kids.(I'm glad doctors are smarter & more disciplined than me!!!) * I learned that once you miss a chem lab one time...it gets alot more tempting to miss another one!..only if your lab partner is generous with their information though. * I've always enjoyed my weight lifting classes in h.s&college and I took a dance class & tae kwon doe. Too much fun! * Ok that's enough...why would you want to revisit those days too much?! I might remember something traumatizing or shameful!...but whatever you heard bout me..it AINT TRUE!! * PEACE OUT Workplace My work history starts after I gave birth to Treshon at 16! Shoneys- cashier/hostess/salad bar/waitress/food prep- career * That was an excellent exp.b/c when go out to eat, I can easily slip right into the restaurant workers shoes & appreciate them doing their job a whole lot more! * Then it was a Athletic wear/shoe store( I learned what it was like to be in a family owned & operated business) * I was a research assistant for the Animal Science Dept. at College Park.I learned alot, but quickly realized that I wasn't the "kill bird embryos,imput & anaylize data, animal caretaker, kinda person" I did well but was bored & couldn't see myself in a lab type setting as a career anymore. * Then I started helping Tre with the cleaning business (learned about the cleaning industry/sales/marketing/office/phone& customer service skills) * Then I rebelled & wanted to work by myself so I got a job as a car saleswoman for Chysler in O.M. My manager kept hitting on me, the experienced salesmen were customer stealers and I saw that you don't make any $ unless you are there ALL THE TIME to sell as many as you can.Lasted 2 weeks! Plus my household was in a state of chaos with me gone so much and me so tired when I got home. Wasn't worth it. I teamed back up with Tre again! * Then, as my family was doing modeling/acting work, I started doing hair shows,promotional modeling,movie&tv extra, print work. Again, I had a good time, learned alot but getting that "experience" as an amateur was turning into a job for minimal money. I made more working at our business. So we all took a break from going back&forth to DC & NYC and decided to grow the business until moving to LA.(plans sill in works) * Oh, & I also had brief sales jobs with security systems and Credit Card processing sales&services to business owners. * So...overall, no matter what, I've learned that in the end, the most important thing is to stay close with God and thank Him that my path is according to His Plan. Whatever job we do, we are meant to learn & grow from it, interact with the people and that those skills will be used or called upon at any given moment in the future. My whole life is full of unexpected turns and surprises, which reassures me that I am not the one in control here! Military The only military experiece that I have is that my father was in it, (He just recently retired..Yeah!) and I used to have my I.D., would go to the PX & commissary to shop!And I was covered for health insurance at one time.. But that all changed after I wasn't in school anymore.. I missed those on base priviledges(if sp.wrong..must be a typo Oh well.. sam's club eventually filled those commissary shoes
