Linda's Story
Hello. Since I was asked to tell my story a few years ago and I just noticed it, lol .... I went to Saint Marks High for my freshman and sophmore year. For my junior and senior year, I attended and graduated from Claymont High. I was a waitress for 3 years until I got a stable job at diamond state telephone company. I started as a telephone operator and got a promotion as a collection consultant when the company turned into Bell Atlantic and then Verizon Communications. I hung in there and retired after 30 years. It was not an easy task. So much stress and negativity in those years of working for Verizon. Made alot of great friendships though. People that will stay forever in my heart. . My mother and father were both from South Philly. When they married, they moved to Claymont, delaware and lived in brookview before buying a house on delancey place. When I was 12, we moved to radnor green. I have traveled to Quebec and montreal, Canada, Hawaii, Houston, Texas, Georgia, Florida, New York. I plan on doing much more traveling one day in my future. My father died in 1983 suddenly on august 20th. I was at a police and Joan Jett concert that same day and was not told I had lost the most important man of my life for a...Expand for more
day later. When I came home from the concert, I laid on my couch, looked up at the clock on my wall which said 8:10. I later found out that was my dad's time of death. The universe is always trying to tell me something if I take notice and listen to my intuition... He had gone to the poconos with my mother. He died young, only 56 years old, and losing him is the most devastating thing that ever happened to me. I married someone 3 years later that reminded me of him. He was a good guy but it didn't work out. In 1993 I gave birth to my only child and married his father to give my son a name thinking old fashioned, knowing it wouldn't last because of his many issues. I am divorced and have changed my sons name back to mine . I am a spiritual person and a positive person. I have great faith and believe in Karma. My dog's name is Karma. lol I have struggled and overcome demons that I am proud of. I am now attending Schilling Douglas school of cosmetology. I will graduate in one month. As I learn more and more and develop my skills I realize more than ever how important it is not to give up. Things always get better if you work at it. The second half of my life is going to be the happiest and I am looking forward to it!
