Kim's Story
Life
Hello everyone. I have been living in CA since Oct. of 1983. I married in 1986, had a daughter in 1989. She (Jennifer) will be 14 years old in Dec. Jennifer is loving her 2nd year of H.S. Yes! She's advanced. My husband's name is Rick, and he is originally from Texas. I am now a 6th grade teacher in Stockton, CA. I have 1 dog, 7 cats, 1 rabbit, and 1 tank of fish. I also just bought 3 green anoles for my classroom. They're cool! Yes! I have a zoo. They make me very happy.
Write me! I'd be very interested in what everyone else is doing with their lives.
College
Since graduating from Cortland with a B.S. degree in P.E. I have moved to CA. I've been living here for 20 years already. I have taken over 80 units above my B.S degree and now have my CA Multile Subject Clear Professional Teaching Credential with a supplemental authorization to teach Science and P.E. I am currently teaching 6th grade and I'm enjoying it. I plan to get my National Teacher Certification.
Workplace
I have done so many things since graduating from College. I worked in many Health and Fitness center...Expand for more
s doing exercise stress tests and designing fitness programs for people. I also got a certification as an Exercise Test Technologist.
I then worked for the J.C. Penney credit regional center where I learned many things about credit. Prior to that I worked for AT&T in the Engineering Dep't doing Digital Data disconnect work for the engineers. That was a temp. job.
I then married and had my first and only child. I was fortunate and was able to stay home with her for 4 years. That was the best thing I could have ever done. When Jennifer got older I started coaching, and discovered I still enjoyed working with kids (my original plan when I went to college). It was then that I decided to do some substituting in 3 different school districts and 1 private school. I wound up getting a job at Sierra Christian School, and worked there for 4 years teaching 5th grade. The last two years I worked full time and worked on my credentials. This is now my 2nd year working in Public Education. I'm really enjoying it. Talk about going a full circle. It's amazing the journey God sometimes makes you take.
