Mary Ellen's Story
Life
My Spouse,
My first husband was Mark Polston. We had two children together, a boy then a girl. We were married for four years after graduation. We divorced, then got back together and moved down south to North Carolina. We split after a few years, (we never remarried). I met my second husband here in Charlotte, through his sister, who has been my best friend for years. He is from New York. We were married in Oct. 2001.
My Pets,
I had an abused dog, I took her in at one year old, very malnurished, not much hope of survival, and had her for seventeen years. Sometimes they make the best pets. I now have only one gold fish.
My Kids,
They are good kids. My oldest is my son, who gave me two beautiful granddaughters, and my daughter gave me two handsome grandsons and two more beautiful granddaughters. My new husband gave me two more sons, who in turn gave us two more grandsons. A beautiful family.
My Job,
I am a school bus driver for elementary and middle and High school students. I have been doing this for the past 13 years. My daughter also is a sc...Expand for more
hool bus driver. A very challenging job!!!
I also work with children with autism, teaching them life skills.
Workplace
I became a school bus driver in 1993. I like the job because it pays pretty good, plus you go to work for a few hours in the morning, go home and do what you want for about four hours. Then you go back and put in another 3,4 or 5 hours and go home. It helps me take care of my disabled husband. Now My daughter has become a school bus driver, and she loves it! We each have our own bus that we are responsible for, and we have our routes. The challenge is to stay on time all the time, and get the kids there safely,not easy thing to do in Charlotte! The job is getting tougher though, the kids are becoming more unruly, and with more language barriers that we face, communication is getting much harder. I should have taken Spanish in high school! Who knew,right?
Update 10/25/2008
My Husband and I learned that we are Great Grandparents now. Our grandson in New York recently had a babyboy! We are excited, but Great Grandparents? Now I do feel old!
