dianne's Story

I was formerly known as Dianne Fielitz, and was in the choir in high school. After graduating from high school, I went to Macomb Community College, and earned an Associate Degree in graphic and commercial art. I got married in 1982, and moved to Ohio, near Cleveland. After working in the art field for several years, I got bored with it, and went back to school and earned a Bachelor's degree in elementary education. I worked for several years with Cleveland Public Schools, and taught third grade to disadvantaged children. I loved it! Then, in December 1997, we adopted our beautiful daughter from Vietnam! To add to our joy, we found out that I was expecting a son only 3 months before we were to travel to Vietnam to get our daughter! My husband had to travel to Vietnam alone to get our daughter...(he's quite a guy!) because my ob doctor would not let me travel overseas! Our children came home to us only 4 months apart! My daughter came home Dec 1997, and my son was born May 1998. My husband and kids and I live in a semi-rural area near Cleveland, and it's very pretty...our neighbors across the road from us have horses. There are no streetlights, and at night, it's gorgeous out...you can see tons of stars, including the milky way! My back yard has wo...Expand for more
ods in the back of our property....so we can hear tons of crickets and frogs at night...it's really peaceful. I currently substitute teach special needs/autistic preschool children and also regular ed grade school children during the school year...and I find it very rewarding. My husband and I have teenagers in the house now, and with dogs included, it can get to be quite a zoo, sometimes! We love taking our camper to all the national parks in the country with the kids and dogs, and hope to do full time traveling with our camper when we both retire. I always wanted to be a artist when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a goofy idea. As it turns out, they were wrong. I ended up working as an artist at NASA in Cleveland, Ohio. I have an art studio in my home, and art has really enriched my life and my family's lives as well. I am teaching my kids to airbrush and master other types of media, and they love it! I was really embarrassed being voted class ding-bat in the choir for the Spring senior banquet awards ceremony. It really ticked me off. My parents were kind of embarrassed as well. However, when I graduated with a Scholarship Award for maintaining a GPA of 3.7 continuously for 5 years of college...it erased that memory totally!
