Karen's Story

I'm currently a Credit/Collections Manager for one of the top firearms companies in the world. I love my job. I went to college at UMUC and was working on my Bachelors but landed good paying jobs and focused on my career and the money at that time, I regret this because now that I have the good paying job and have worked my way up, the degree really would have added the icing on the cake. It is a personal goal of mine to one day finish. I am however taking several accreditation courses in Credit Management and have earned my CBA - Credit Business Associates in July 2007. I've been married for almost 17 years and have two sons, Jonathan who is 15 on 3/27/09 and Nicholas who will be 12 on 7/22/09. I still live in MD in La Plata. I have a dog named Kimba who is 2 and very spoiled. My husband, Bobby Cushman who also went to OHHS, bought him for me after we had to put my first dog, Simba of 16 years asleep on 4/7/07...a very sad day for me. Bobby and I love to camp, boat, go to the beach and travel. We plan to vacation in Costa Rica this summer - August 2009. My inspiration and the backbone of me and my family is my Mom, Momacita, and my Dad, who many of you may know or have met. They are the rock of our family and I could not see my life without them. I'm still very family oriented, I am very close with my brothers, Steven, Norman and Peter and my sister, Michelle as well as their spouses and kids. They all live locally and are all very close. I still keep in touch with many friends from High School and especially now that I signed up on facebook...a great way to connect with old friends from even John Hanson...Expand for more
Jr. High. My favorite teacher in school was Ms. Chambers. I thought the nurse was mean however talked with her after graduation and she was the nicest woman ever. I regret not playing any sports in school, I enjoy watching my boys so much participate in sports and wish I had gotten into sports. I had very close relationships in school with Naomi Travers, Lisa Hayes, Savilla Draper, Vicki Spears, Kristi Martin, Pam Delozier, Brian Spille and DJ Moasser...all of whom I loved dearly and have very fond memories of. They helped me through very rough times in school especially when I lost my first love, Ricky Wise, in 11th grade. The hardest thing to this day I ever had to endure. Kept up with most of them for many years after school but slowly but surely lost touch little by little. Today I don't hear or see much from any of them which saddens me but they will always hold a special place in my heart and I will always love them all dearly. They are a part of my foundation and who I am today. I would like to find Ronald Ruff, I had lots of classes with him and we became good friends. I have not seen or heard from him since graduation. My goals for the future is to pray everyday that I am doing the right thing by my boys and raising them the way my parents raised me. In this day and age, it's scarier, harder, tougher for kids and with our guidance and prayer I hope to be successful in raising two good, honest, hardworking boys. I would also like to finish college and travel to Europe where my real mother is from and where I have family. I look forward to the 25 year reunion! Peace, love and god bless, Karen.
