Melissa's Story
Life
I have been with the same great guy for 8 years now. We have a daughter that is turning 5 in May. She will be starting school this year, so we are excited about that. We have a big, fat black cat we named Casheous. We live in Mebane for now, but will be relocating in Graham so our daughter can go to Rivermill. There is always something going on in my life...never a dull minute!
School
The last school I attended was Eastern Alamance, but did not stay long enough to be called a regular student. Too much moving from place to place, so I did not feel comfortable attending high school. I quit in 10 grade and went to ACC to acquire my GED. Then I went back to ACC a few years later and started their Advertising and Graphic Design degree program. It was taking me forever to get through the classes going part-time, since I work full time. I left there and went to Westwood College of Technology Online and finish within 16 months and graduating ...Expand for more
with a GPA of above 3.90. It was the roughest yet most satisfying thing I have ever done.
College
The best thing that could have happened was that I figured out what I wanted to do before going to college. There were just too many options so I worked and worked in different fields until I found my match. Now, I work for an institution that pays well, great benefits and helps me pay for college. I have an Associate Degree in Graphic Design and Multimedia and work as a Production Coordinator! My next goal is to rest some and then go back to finish my BA in Visual Communications.
Workplace
Right now, I work for Duke Clinical Research Institute which is a branch off of Duke University Medical Center. I work in the Communications Dept. with the production and graphics group. It is a very stable and benefiticial job so I will probably retire here. I also do freelance graphics for print and web design. It is a great hobby and pays fairly well!
