Dionne's Story

I don't even know where to start. I have DEFINITELY changed since high school, I have lived a whole different life and put dreams on hold of finishing school, getting married for all of the wrong reasons (I brought my ex-husband Dwayne to the 10 Year Reunion) My life was a total facade, and it took a really good friend to help me realize that. So in 2001, got divorced, bought a house and began to live life pouring my soul into the job, and making sure I was there for my parents, who had serious health issues. In 2003, my father passed away and just before he died he told me I needed to go back to finish what I started and that I was his hero. So in August 2003, I went back to school and January, 2004 I received my BS in Interdiscplinary Studies, still putting my dreams on hold. In 2005, after 7 years, I lost my job and decided to sell my house, and move back in with my mom to help her out and she too, wanted me to finish my dream. So in August 2005, I left CT/NY everything I know and love, and left for a new adventure and go to Grad School. I started this new life and adventure in Greensboro, NC. And for those who don't know anything about Greensboro, much let alone, NC, it is not for those who are city folk, trust me on that because there is no such thing as a Metropolis or Suburb, or Major City for that matter.....LOL So at the advice of that same good friend; I left NC, and went somewhere I was a little famili...Expand for more
ar with, Virginia, so that is where I am currently in VA attending Norfolk State University, pursuing a Masters of Arts in Secondary Education/ Community Counseling, and a member of National Honor Society. Get that, me of all people pulling off a Steve Deng, Jimmy Quinn, or a Heather Klenoff with currently a 3.4 GPA. As far as the really good friend I mentioned about helping me realize my life was a facade. He and I after 9 years of friendship began dating in Feb, 2005, and we are currently talking about marriage, but we spend a great deal apart as he has a dual role in the Navy, as a Lt. Commander in his Unit and a Emergency/Critical Care Surgeon and Physician. So that's about it!!!!! In a lot of ways I stayed the same, and in a lot of ways I changed, but I'm a work in progress, and I'm blessed to have the opportunity each day to try to work each day towards getting it right, and that's all we can do. Life is short, play hard or don't come to play at all!!! Be Blessed!!!!! **** UPDATE***** Attn: All of my SHS Class of 1988 Family!!!!! Reunion plans are under way. New England Reunions is helping us plan the 20 Year Reunion that will be sometime in September. After thinking about it, we thought that this would be a better time to have the reunion, more info will be posted on the Classmates Message Board, Reunion.com, and The Stamford HS Project Alumni Website!!!!! Be Blessed!!!! Peace and Blessings....... -Di
