.......Dropped back in, went to college, and received my AA Degree in Applied Science, majoring in Business Software Applications. Graduated with Dean's Honor's and a 3.76 overall GPA.
......What would people be surprised to find out about me after I graduated?
That I actually grew taller!
......Epigraph
I am envious of the sailor who is enveloped in her
infinite beauty, fragrance, and mysterious depths
--Valerie Manning
......Poems
Un-inhabited Path
Like a branch from a tree
The path ahead has many choices
Some paths are smooth
Some are rocky
Some are a combination of the two
People choose to walk the path with open eyes and ears
Others choose to walk the path with them shut
Perception of the path can become ones reality
Clarity of a path is not, who's to know where it ends
Until, it unfolds before you
Live the adventure!
----V.L. Manning
Tommorrow
The rain falls.
The wind blows, but no one really knows.
What today will bring and tomorrow will show, I sure don't know!
If you should fall down, pick yourself up, brush yourself off.
Begin today, to make a better tomorrow!
*Golden Poet Award
*Silver Poet Award
........Philosophical and Reflections: "Teachers open the door; but you must enter yourself."
-CHINESE PROVERB
School
Who was your biggest crush? Which teacher inspired you most? And if you could do it all over again, would you? Spill your funniest, happiest, and craziest school memories here.
......Biggest obsession\crush? Lee Elliott
......Mr. Horton; He was an awesome Algebra Teacher!
......Having the sense of self I do now; as opposed to then, yes!
......When all the Cheerleaders put Mr. Founts in the middle of the gymnasium and sang the "Hey Mickey" song/cheer!
......When I found my name in the school paper; listed as an Honor Student.
......The last day of my Softmore year! Only some of you will remember this day.
College
Remember your "unique" roommate? The cafeteria cuisine? Those caffeine-fueled all-nightersand dragging yourself to class to turn in the paper? Revisit your college days (and nights) here.
.........No roomates, except for my 7 year old and 2 year old. All nighters already applied even before the books!
.........Thank you to all my Teachers! College was a positive and memorable experience!
Workplace
Flipping burgers. Answering phones. Moving from a cube to your first real office. How has your work life progressed? Share your career arc in your Work bio.
..........All of the above! Progressing well!
Military
Never made it to boot camp; however, thanks to all the men and women who serve our beautiful country!
