Paulette's Story

I was pretty anonymous and quiet during my high school years. I'm not sure how people will remember me. I didn't graduate with the regular class, I finished my high school credits by going to night school. I worked at Dr. Gary Palmas office as an orthodontic assistant during my senior year through the ROP program...(thank you Mrs. Young!). I don't think I knew what I wanted to do with my life in high school. In fact, those years are pretty hazy. I apologize if I don't remember many people but, I'm willig to have my little gray cells challenged by all of you! People I used to hang out with were: John Dinkle, Matt Brady, Daron Quinones, Heathere Hall and anyone who used to hang out in the K-L bathroom (snicker). I'm using the story wizard to write this and some of the suggestions are freaking hilarious! The wildest thing I ever did in high school was smoke in the K-L bathroom with Heathere Hall. Woo hoo! Where have I lived...Let me see, the old saying, "No matter where you there, there you are" comes to mind. I lived in every city on the Peninsula during the years after graduating. Just couldn't find a comfortable place to be! I eventually moved to Santa Cruz. I lived in a stream line trailer on a redwood filled property above UCSC. I eventually decided to move to Hawaii to follow a man...I know what you're thinking but, it was a huge part of my life lesson! Sold everything and moved to Kailua Kona, Hawaii on the Big Island. When the relationship failed, I moved to Oahu to the Makiki neighborhood just down the street from the hospital I was working at. Kapi'olani Womens & Childrens hospital as a phlebotomist. I eventually got island fever and moved back to the mainland. As I had already lived on the Peninsula, I knew I needed some new scenery...Colorado Springs Colorado sounded like a good place to move ...Expand for more
so, I packed up my two cats, Thomas & Honu, my Nissan pickup truck and moved back to the mainland. Warning to all: Logistically speaking, moving possessions & animals overseas is a pain in the ass! I arrived in California, my father Paul picked me up and we waited for my truck to arrive at the Port of Oakland many days later. Driving through the hood with my aging father was a interesting at best. I picked up the truck and left for Colorado!! 4 days later I arrived and have been here ever since. I work in an ER as an ER tech in a local hospital. I live in a small community that is located 20 minutes south of the Springs. Happily married and living with my cat, Honu and three chickens named Gertrude, Moira & Enid. My cat Thomas died last year of liver cancer. I have plans to become a flight paramedic. Starting that process next June. Very exciting!!! My style today is very different than it was in high school. I wore dresses and high heels every day at school. My style now is comfort first!! Over the years I did many different jobs. Veterinary tech, animal control officer for the county of Monterey, phlebotomist/lab assistant, wildland firefighter for CDF, EMT, ER tech...the classmate I most want to contact again is Daron Quinones... My bestest friend in the whole world is still Heathere Hall. We met in Mr. Roberts French class (Ou est la biblioteque?). I was a soph, she was a jr. We have been best friends ever since. Sisters born to different mothers! This past Feast of Lanterns, I happened to be visiting my father in Salinas so, I brought my husband to see what it was all about...I ran into Matthew Brady there. Freaking weird how that happens! I miss the Peninsula so badly sometimes that my heart aches. I miss watching a storm come in over the ocean... That's about it for now... Later dudes! Paulette
