" it to find out more. But please, don't send me all kinds of cures, treatments, etc. I'm dealing with it and am trying to be educated and proactive when it comes to my health. Thank you for your consideration. And please remember, I really am, "just happy to be here on this earth." Every day the Lord gives me a new chance to get it "Right". You can't pass up an opportunity like that! School School is a mish-mash of memories. I'm not sure what my classmates thought of me 'cause all the time I was following my own drummer (so to speak...). I kinda figured out very early that if you were honest with people, and they didn't like you, that was more their problem than yours. I have very dear memories of my art teacher Tommie Price. She also was your tipical "odd duck" artist and great teacher. With all the personal things that was happening to me at the time (i.e., moving to my Aunt and Uncle's), I had my hands full just trying to figure out what was the right choices in life. What I didn't realize (and do now) is that there were many of us in the same situation at the same time. Too bad it wasn't "cool" to talk about your home problems back then... But hey! We survived and I think the large majority of us are better, stronger, & more empathetic people for it! It is a joy to hear from former classmates and know they are doing well after all this time. And the biggest joy is when someone tells me that they remember something nice or kind or even funny about me. I hope that I left just a few sweet memories with someone, like many of my classmates have with me. College Oh dear, college... I got to find out just how hard it is to play "catch-up" with your education when you marry 1st, have kids, THEN go back to school. As a divorced mom, it was kids, work, school. And not always in that order, I am sorry to say. Something had to give, so eventually it was school. I loved every minute of it though and even today I occasionally take a class here or there! Workplace I worked for American Airlines both in Tulsa, Ok. and the DFW area from 1986 to 2005. During that time, I held several positions within the company. I am now retired after having been a Flight Attendant for the last 7 1/2 yrs. Having started in the Safety Dept. of American, I was one of your more knowledgeable Flight Attendants when it came to Safety... I will always remember my time at American, but the industry has changed and the only thing I seem to really miss is my former coworkers. I also devote as much time as possible to my art work. No one told me retirement would be so busy! My goal is to become a famous artist before I die (or at least be the mother or grandmother of one.) Wish me luck!
