Stephanie's Story
Since HS: finished college w/a B.S. in elementary ed. Taught 3rd & 4th grades for about a minute and a half. Waitressed, worked for Prudential, Planned Parenthood & temped. Went to law school, earned my J.D. Got my dream job at the Manhattan DA's Office. Assistant District Attorney for 13 years, 7 in the Family Violence/Child Abuse Bureau. Now I am the bureau chief for the Family Court Bureau of my local County Attorney's Office. Have had this gig since 2002, managing 16 deputy county attorneys, practicing family law. Have two incredible children: Julia Marigold (16) and Daniel Elijah (13), both scholars/athletes/musicians and really good, kind children. Adopted two teeny tiny kittens Columbus Day Weekend 2008: Ferris Bueller & Cameron. Ferris passed due to kidney disease. After period of mourning, adopted Mr. Rooney. Now we have pets. "Almost" divorced, (separated for 4 years plus), fairly friendly and low-conflict w/soon-to-be-ex. Mets fan due to my children's obsessive adoration of all things Mets. Belong to a synagogue but baseball is our religion... Member/listener of WFUV. Close to my family, (extended and immediate), good friends, and deeply in love with a rare, good man. Wish I had more time for me. Read a lot, take care of my...Expand for more
children, cook, walk in the mornings or evenings or both, work hard, worry, etc. Would like to be more politically active in my community. Care deeply about important issues, but am beyond exhausted. Concerned for the future, but remain hopeful and good-humored. Ever the optimist and genuinely happy these days. So much sweetness and goodness in the world. Trying to live well, love well, and just be real. Remember high school as a blur of learning, yearning, hiding and seeking. Glad I emerged healthy and not too afraid of life. Grateful for some really good teachers, friends, life lessons. Astonished by how much I thought I knew and didn't. Wish I hadn't spent so much time worried about what other people thought. Wish I had been braver and more adventurous. No regrets. Just hoping that my high-school-junior daughter uses this time in her life to live more fully than I did and be more authentic than I was! Cannot believe I am 49! Feel exactly as I did as a teenager minus some energy. I guess we really do just become more of who we really are. Love, love, love to come "home" for visits. My parents still live in Bridgeport! Sometimes take my children down memory lane trips that always include a pilgrimage to the Merritt Canteen. Yum.
