Catherine's Story

As the report in Psych 1, I did study on how to do a term paper, an so I was the only one in that class that wasn't a book report. I had a keen interest in Psych, from the PTSD that got me into the foster home that I stayed at while I was at my fifth high school. I meet some people an from the huge campus, an the earthquakes that we had, many persons I have no idea who they are. The few friends that I did have, befriended me,that made my stay bareable, as most of my time was with my studies an foster home life, an of course horse trails. I have been thru a lot, an now well aged.The most I can say, is as a volunteer, I have been active in Kern county,as I am on several committees. Got to be a ground breaker for the local Homeless Shelter, an active with the Homeless Housing Colabrative, also on other Housing committees, including Transitional Aged Youth. I have been a volunteer in local non profits, as well have been a board member of one. I have been a comission member of some county oversite programs, task force, an currently active with one of the Emergency Preparedness committees, It is said we have one state of the art HQ for a disaster, an everyone is one part of a cog when that happens. So the biggest part of my life is staying informed, an many consider me a valued resource an as a consumer advocate I know many things have taken place that even I don't know, but keeping all the programs on there toes, keep us in the loop, so at ...Expand for more
least I represent someone. As far as Kids, there was one boy, he is over 30, an I did find my dad when I was 30, he died 3 yrs later. What have I found out: a few years ago, it was discovered that I have asbuger an that did explain a lot for me, but the kid in third grade just wanted to know what was wrong, knew that they really did not have any info for me. I waited a whole lifetime, to know what part of me that was wrong. I am an aspie, my son was dsylexea an there were no real programs for him either, so he got put into the wrong class ["me first!"]So he wasn't raised by me, not by choice. My abuser got custody, an it was real court case for his lifetime.Now he is taking care of her, an she got him as she did work for the top bosses of the DPSS [her old bosses for Rocketdyne, all 3 of them] So remember the kid who was a grad ready to retire, well, I got to retire, shortly after being in high school. All I want is to become a bookeeper [OJT],I found out here at BCJC, that I have a learning disablity I am slow processing deficet, I can type [manual speed 45wpm] jobs always required 50wpm [on the job, you never did more than 30wpm] The sezuries that you never noticed, they still don't know what I have, now are massive. I also have COPD, w/plursy an that also took forever to find out about. I am a professional, I am a pro-catch-22. If anyone even knows me, ask for my email, an send me a note, there were a few persons that had lunch w/me.
