Laura's Story
Life
My life just after high school, maybe, like many of you had it's ups and downs. I finally fell on my feet, even though it may have taken longer than some, I consider myself grateful for the few friends (you know who you are) that have remained close. I floated through junior college for way too long but finally decided on a degree and anyone who really knew me won't be suprised when I tell you that after marrying a great guy, who wisked me off to a college town, there was nothing left to do but enroll. As a non-traditional student, at 35, I completed a B.A. of Science in Zoology at SIU in Carbondale. Zoology, because animals have always been a passion of mine.("I like Spiders"-that's for you Danny Louise if you ever read this). Along the way I've dipped my...Expand for more
hands in many things(Figuratively and Literally),anything from Nurses Aide to Cake Decorator and even Volunteer Fund Raising for a Wildlife Rehabilitator.
All the life I've experienced between then and now has been a sometimes painful, sometimes pleasant learning experience.
Most of my favorite times have been spent with family or friends in the outdoors and I don't expect that to change.
Life up to now has been somewhat charmed in that I am able to follow my own bliss so to speak, and have had the freedom to pursue the things that interest me most.
Currently , I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the 20 year high school shin-dig and catching up with old acquaintances and hopefully makeing a few new ones that I may have overlooked before.
