Jennifer's Story
School
I don't remember having a big crush on anyone... maybe it's selective memory...
My Honors History teacher inspired me most (although I can't remember her name). She was short with red hair that she used to tie up in a barett. Anyway, she inspired me to want to learn rather than just go through the motions. I'll have to look up her name in the yearbook...
I wouldn't do high school again although I enjoyed it. I actually studied harder in high school than I ever did in college! I enjoyed cruising the hall before class, hanging out at White Castle, and going to some parties and downtown but college was a lot more fun to me. Although it's tough seeing the wrinkles and gray hair appear, this is the happiest and most peaceful time in my life with my husband and two kids.

College
I went to DePaul my freshman year but hated it. Then, I transferred to the Univ. of Tampa and liked the partying and beaches a little too much. Then... I finally found a good fit and finished up at Mizzou in 1992. I really liked Columbia and became a little "grounded" once I moved in with my parents. Overall, I had a good college experience but was definitely ready to move on!
Workplace
When I graduated from Mizzou, I worked some hellish customer service and receptionist jobs before finding my "calling" in marketing. I worked in sales for Black & Decker, then slipped into marketing when I worked for a small internet start-up called efax.com in the Bay Area. After that, I moved with my husband to Fort Collins, CO and worked for HP in marketing. In 2000, I had my oldest child, Aaron and quit to become a stay-at-home mom. I had my daughter, Amelia in 2003 and have really enjoyed being home with them. I'm contemplating going back part-time but we'll see...
