Joye's Story
Life
I sing in my church choir and on the praise & worship team. I am a member of the Praise Dance Ministry, Youth Department, Finance Department, and Drama Ministry at my church.
Serving God has become my reason for living. I can do nothing without him. He has delivered me from suicide and depression. He's shown me that his love is all I need to carry me through. I love Jesus with all my heart!!!
I taught piano lessons for about four years at Anointed Instructions, the school where I learned to play.
I'm currently teaching computer lessons (Microsoft Word, Access & Excel) at the local community center.
School
My favorite teacher was Mrs. Tisdale. I wish I had gone out for track. I was having the best times when I was hanging out with Laurietta Scott, Veronica Moultrie, Karen Beach and Emily Diggs. I MISS YOU LADIES! My best school trips were those for chorus (All-State and Honors All-State).
College
I attended Northern VA...Expand for more
Community College while in Alexandria, VA and Thomas Nelson Community College while in Newport News. I have just recently started taking classes again to complete my degree.
Workplace
My very first job was at Magic Harbor when I was 14 years old. I've worked at Hardee's, KFC and many hotels whose names I can't remember. When I moved to Alexandria (about 1990), I was determined not to work another weekend. So I taught myself every software program I came across (Harvard Graphics, Lotus 1,2,3, WordPerfect, etc.), and never looked back. I am now the Senior Adminstrative Assistant for the Fire Chief of the Newport News Fire Department.
Military
Not in a million years! The Lord's Army is the ONLY Army I want to be in! A special thanks to all those who were brave enough to go! You put your lives in harms way for us, and I thank you!! I pray that God will keep you safe and comfort your families and give them peace when you can't be there.
