Victoria Robertson:  

There were 2 Vicky Robertsons at Spring Woods. I, unfortunately, was the unpopular one. While I was in school this really bothered me because I wanted to be friends with so many people but I just wasn't excepted in with "The In-Crowd". So I stayed by myself, having ever few friends. When I graduated I went into the Military (Army). That didn't last very long so I move up to Washington D. C. Well, life didn't get much better. After moving back down to Houston and ten years later in 1981 I went back into the Military (Navy). My first and only post was at NATTC (Naval Air Technical Training Center), NAS (Naval Air Sation), in Millington, Tn. (which, by the way, was literally blown off the map by a hurricane!!). I was in for 3 years. I got out of the Military in 1984 and got married on April 13, 1984 to a Naval Chief but was only married for 10 months. He was very abusive. On February 22, 1985 the divorce papers were signed and in 1985/86 there was a short stent of being a professional westler (and, please, don't ask). In the late winter/early Spring of 1986 I moved back down to Houston (again). I started working in the security business. I have been in the business now for 26 years. I am writing a book about my experiences. I have held positions from patrolman to Lt. For the last year and a half I have been working as an independent contractor. I manufacture a product for the Academy stores. From 1969 to 1994, for some reason, I had always attracted the women abusers because I was naive and very trusting and did not stand up for myself, but now I stand very tall at 5' 3" and don't let that happen anymore because I finally realized I didn't deserve to be treated like that! Today I have learned from my mistakes and I am very happy and lot smarter. I don't see kindness as a weakness - it's a gift! For those people who do see it as a weakness, well, you are missing out on some very special people. I never re-married, don't have any children, really never wanted any. I was always taking care of other peoples children. I do have 5 four-legged, furry children: Davida, Goliath, Jazzy, Tazzy and Red. Five distinctly different personalities! They range from 4 years to 16 year...Expand for more
