Claire's Story
After I graduated from high school, I went to Merrimack College for a year, studying Psychology. However, I was missing a lot of my friends who had gone away to school and focusing more on their dreams than I felt I was. I took some time off and ended up moving to PA for... a guy! Who I ended up marrying and having a daughter with. After a while (read, a decade) I came to my senses and realized it was not a healthy relationship and left.
Having been a stay at home Mom during most of this time, I was at least thankful I had gone back to school before I had my daughter and gotten my degree. However, setting out on my own while fighting for custody of my daughter proved to not be an easy task.

from learning Taekwondo, and currently hold a red belt in the art. I had a terrible accident in the fall of 2007, where I broke both of my legs, including shattering my right tibia. I now have some permanent hardware there, I call it my bionic leg. It's caused some set backs in my training, but at least I do not have a permanent limp or walk with a cane as my doctors said I would. That I was just not going to stand for! My daughter was a big cheerleader of mine, even if she did make fun of my cane. :)
I recently did gain full legal and physical custody of my daughter. Which means I get to move home to MA! Back to good 'ol Chelmsford...
If you want to get in touch with me, I'm on that my space place, and face book.
