Tina Bailey:  

I married the love of my life 28 years ago. I have 2 children, 25 and 19. We still live in Powder Springs, in the Lost Mountain area. I am currently in school getting a political science degree and will start in August, 2010, to obtain an R.N. degree. I recently had surgery that has caused me to have a long recovery period and can't do the things I want to be doing right now. I love seeing former classmates. Most are grandparents now which is hard to believe. I have such fond memories of my days at McEachern. Thanks to whomever set up the alumni breakfast. I'm advertising it on facebook too. Hope everyone will stop and take the time to get back together with everyone. My first child, Savannah, was born with cerebral palsy and lives with us. My son just turned 19 and thinks he has the world by a string. He will be moving into his first apartment on january 8th. I look forward to seeing how long that will last. How many of you have gone through the same thing with your young adult children. I swear his brain is missing. I worked in the travel industry for a few years until 9/11 and the company folded. I also worked for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta for 4 years which was very rewarding. After that, about 6 years ago, I worked with an IT company for a gentlement that ran his company out of his home. After a while on unemployment, I decided to pursue something I should have done upon graduating from high school. I regret not going to college immediately. Being a non-traditional student, you miss out on a lot of the activities because the young ones look at you like you're the momma instead of the student. I won a scholarship to Shorter College last year, but wasn't able to use it because my surgery put me in ICU for 2 weeks, and an additional 7 weeks in the hospital. So I have to stay at Georgia Highlands College to finish my degree. Hopeful...Expand for more
