School
I really enjoyed high school, with the highlight of my time there being Venture and Cosmetology. Though I wouldn't change most of my experiances, I would change myself. I'm so much more outgoing now and don't take crap from anyone, but I'm still fun loving and confident. I knew then I would make a difference in my community and through my Community Involvement Coordinator position at WalMart, I'm doing just that. I still think life is a little backwards though. Go to school & graduate, enjoy being a "kid", then go to college as an adult...then teach your own child(ren) to respect themselves...and more importantly, others. I wish I could do HS again...through my adult eyes.
College
I haven't gra...Expand for more
duated yet...I went for 2 classes during my H.S senior year as electives, but you have to enter a grad year for classmates to register it...Anyhow I opted for the classes I took to be eligable for the Venture Diploma with Acedemic Excellence to join my CCHS Diploma. Some day I will return to Finger Lakes Communiy College [FLCC a.k.a. Flick :)] and obtain a degree...in what I have no flippin' clue...27 and have NO clue what I desire to do in the world....until then, I hold a Cosmetology Lisence...and work in the wonderful world of wal*mart...oh well, at least that is opening doors for me into the wonderful world of free-lance photography! :)
Workplace
I worked at Wal*Mart in Newark 1999-2012. I held 2 positions there. My primary is the photo lab where I enjoy new tech. of digital life & the one thing I love, photography. Due to my being there, my first free-lance wedding was booked & shot in mid-April/03. School portraits in May/03. This opened a whole new world for me. I was approached w/the possibility of a traveling photogropher w/in my county for school sports photos. It turned into School portraits for Wayne County Wide Headstarts. SO totally me written all over it. I photographed about 5 schools each May...about 300 kids. I was also the Community Involvement Coordinator. I worked w/all of Wayne county to help better our community through volunteer, fundraising, giving walmart grants & trying to make a positive impact effecting the area.
