Carolyn's Story
Life
High School feels like yesterday! We have a High School senior of our own and two currently in college, so we're reliving it all thru them! We have a great family and have tons of fun with all our old friends regularly, just enjoying our 40's with all that life brings. "Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way."
School
High school can be a rough time in our lives. I can't say I didn't have my ups and downs, however, I have only good memories of my time at Loara High School. There's something about that school that instilled a loyalty among us, whether is was the students banding together against the administration (Colleen's Rainbow Mohawk vs. Dr. Meck comes to mind!) or students interacting with the staff (Homecoming assemblies, Bubbles the Ballerina) or just the intense friendships we formed there.

Workplace
Let's See... I think it was Baskin Robbins, Clenet Cleaners, then Togo's, I actually avoided flipping burgers! Those were the days, FREE ice cream to friends, FREE dry cleaning, and FREE sandwiches & beer after closing!! I couldn't have had a better time. Then the real world sucked me in, and then with a child, I got a real job at a property management firm, went to Medical Assisting school, just to try something different, and ended up finding my true calling! I love working in the health/medical field, but I mostly love working with children. I currently work in the school nurses office and I couldn't be happier. The school schedule enables me to be home with my own kids, which I think is my most important job yet!
