Shannon's Story

Where I've Been: I spent the first few years of my life living in Nashua, NH. I attended Winnie the Pooh nursery school, Little Flower Private School, and then New Searles before my family moved to Amherst, NH. I was half-way through 2nd grade when we moved. I went into 2nd grade at Wilkins Elementary. From there it was Amherst Middle School. I remember this as a time of difficulty. I was exceddingly shy, had low self-esteem and was often picked on. I was very depressed and had few friends. Who knows how others remember me. They couldn't have knwon what I was going through. It's only know as an adult that I understand things a lot more. After Amherst Middle I went to Milford Areas Senior High for my freshman year. My sophomore year, I attended Bishop Guertin High School. My mother and I also moved to Nashua, NH. My father moved to MD when I was in 8th grade because the economy was so crappy. We weren't able to all be together again until later. My junior year I attended Nashua High. My senior year my mother and I moved to MD to finally be with my father. My senior year I went to Frederick high in Frederick, MD (that sucked). I graduated from there and went to college at NC State in Raleigh, NC where I double majored in microbiology and psychology. I took some time off at one point, h...Expand for more
ence the fact that it looks like it took five years for me to get my degree. Towards the end of my undergrad, I moved to Portland, OR and lived with my oldest brother and his wife for 6 months. I finished out the last course I needed for my psychology degree. I never finished my micriobiology degree. After graduation, I moved back to Frederick, MD where my parents were. Eventually I bought my own condo. When my paternal grandfather passed away, my parents and I went to Florida for the funeral. My mother decided that she'd like to retire there. So, they chose to buy a housein Sarasota, FL. I've always hated MD so I ended up moving into the house in Sarasota. That's where I am now. My parents are still up in MD as they have not yet retired. I decided to pursue my masters in Social Work 2 years after moving here. I went into a part-time program. I just graduated a few months ago. About me: I married on 7/7/07. I'm a highly spiritual (notice I did not say religious) person. I've been through some rough stuff but I firmly believe that it has all helped to shape me into the person I am today. I enjoy working with children and adolescents as a counselor. It's been a long, sometimes hard, sometimes strange journey getting to where I am now. I can't even imagine what the future will bring! :)
