Karen's Story
Currently retired as of March 1, 2013.
School
Not much to say about school. I enjoyed learning, except history. Had a few friends. Wasn't very social, although I wanted to be. Just too shy and insecure. I liked school because it got me away from home. My favorite teacher was Mr. Campanelli. Enjoyed bookkeeping class and PE. Also enjoyed being on the volleyball team. My best friends was & is Kathy Dennis & Barbara Karpowich. We are back in touch again.
Workplace
I've had a few interesting jobs. My favorite was a limousine driver for the NY airports. Then I became a supervisor at the airports. left their eventually, only due to economic reasons and became a process server. Very interesting work. I then got into office work, bookkeeping, where at this stage in my life it is convenient, but boring. When I worked at a travel agency, I ...Expand for more
got to travel a lot, which I love. Now, I wish I could semi-retire and watch my grandchildren, travel and work at a more fulfilling job.
Hobbies
I love to travel, even if I don't have the money for it. But when I do I love taking pictures of all kinds of scenery and of course pics of my grandchildren. I bought myself a beautiful camera this year, 2008, and then went to Ca. to take pics of the Big Sur, but we weren't able to go there because of the fires. But I still took lots of pics of Ca.
Life
Jesus is my life and I follow where He leads, even if it isn't a place where I want to go. I am here in Peoria not because it's a beautiful retirement place, but it's where He lead me for a season. I've been moving most of my life, I have no roots, I'm just a sojourner on this earth, just passing through till He leads me home. Praise Jesus!
