Elise's Story
My view on Life...
I am living "Happily ever after" with my husband of 24 years. Between us we have 5 grown children and 10 grandchildren. I have my health, a job that I love, several very good friends, 2 dogs and a house in the mountains. What more could a person ask for? My life has turned out to be much more then I ever expected. I have been truly blessed. I am a friend of Bill's (His writings taught me to live life on life's terms, one day at a time.)
My view on school...
I was not a great student in school and I'm sorry to say that I was a bit of a trouble maker. (Hence the Villa Loretto School For Girls) For various stupid reasons, I dropped out in 9th grade, but went back to school later to finish my education.
My view on college...
I'm working on receiving my college degree "piece meal". I have been a student at both Orange County Community College and Sullivan County Community College. At one time I worked a full time job, a part time job and went to school part time. I really burnt myse...Expand for more
lf out! Now days, I've learned to take things slower. I'm not in school right now, but every now and then "the urge to learn" comes over me and I enroll in a class or two. It may take me a while, but I'll get there!
My view on work...
I absolutely love my job! When I was a kid, I thought that I would become a nurse or a teacher (You know, the traditional women's jobs). I am now the Service Plan Writer for an organization that treats mentally ill, chemically addicted clients. I have been the Service Plan Writer for about 3 years. Before that I was a drug/alcohol counselor for the same organization. I have also worked as a family advocate for both the Head Start and Even Start programs. I have worked in a toy store, made solar panels, worked in the reservations department of a large hotel, been a receptionist, worked in Walmart and been a home health aide. I think that I have finally found my calling with this job and I plan to stay here until I retire.
And there you have it, my life in a nutshell!
