Christianna's Story
Life
I am single and have two sons, kierian (12) and blaze (5).
School
My biggest crush? I had a ton. I think everyone knows how boy crazy i was! To tell you the truth, I still am? Any old flames out there still single? Hahha. -- Jarrell McDaniels (my first puppy love boyfriend - 1st grade), Kyle Fischer, James Grant
As many of you know I began school at Midway HS and stayed until 1990 when I transferred to Temple High. Swimming was my thing and I was already driving to Temple daily for practice. In my head it just made sense to go to school there so I could participate with a real team. (Did Midway ever build a swimming pool; do they have a swim team?)
College
After graduating from Temple Highschool in 1992 I attended Loyola University in New Orleans on an academic scholarship. Being in New Orleans after never having partied in highschool was a "wild" awakening. My academic scholarship went kerplunk since I caught the party buzz the first semester. I had to continue or drop out and was not able to receive a leave of absence. I spent the next two years bumming around New Orleans. In 1993 I became pregnant and moved closer to home - Austin. I had a son in 1994 and s moved back to Waco to attend school. I attended McLennan Commuity College - the Nursing Program. I finally excelled by being part of the Tartan Scholars Program there, receiving a full tuition ride. Being a single momma in Nursing School was a challenge, my grades dropped and I switched to f...Expand for more
ocus on Social Work instead. After MCC I headed to Texas Tech University in Lubbock where I completed my Bachelor's in Social Work with a minor in Women's Studies, again I had a scholarship (woohoo!). During this time I also became a certified childbirth educator and doula. I had another baby in 2001 and moved back to Austin. A few years later I began a graduate program at University of Texas, Austin for a Master's in Social Work. I graduated from UT with a Masters in Social Work in May 2005.
Workplace
Yeah, i have a masters in social work and currently work at the Department of Human Services in the Kinship Unit. I do assessments on relative families including relative foster care home studies and adoptive homestudies. Prior to this I have worked at Head Start, Any Baby Can and Lifeworks. My favorite population is teens and I have incorporated my child birth education, doula and social work together in the past while working with pregnant and parenting teens. I have also done street outreach in Austin with homeless and runaway youth.
Military
Who would have thought this peace lovin, hippy chic would fall for a military dude? Not me. Remember my license plate that said, PCE-LUV, yup.. that was me, so...my only marriage was to a military man stationed at Ft. Hood (Bravo, 1-10 Cav). We lived in Cedar Park and he drove to work daily. We were married for a short 22 months, 11 of which he spent in Iraq. I miss him dearly and wish for his continued happiness.
