Colette's Story
After high school went to university but did not feel it was for me. So, I started to work at various jobs in varying fields. That eventually bored me and I wanted to do something that interested me so went back to school to study computer networks. Once completed tried to find work in that field but soon found that with no experience no one was going to give me a chance. After school was complete, I gave birth to my first son and named him Tiekae (pronounced TK) My partner Scott received a job offer to manage a retirement home in the Ottawa area and we thought it would be a good idea as something new to try so we went. It turned out to be a nightmare because the new owners wanted us to do everything so they could cut costs and make more money but were not willin...Expand for more
g to pay us very much to do the things that they wanted. They treated me horribly because they thought that I should be more concerned with working and not so much for my newborn son. My father became sick and I left with my son to be by his side in the hospital and he passed shortly after. I never went back and don't regret it. Scott stayed for a year and then decided to leave also. So, I decided to start at the bottom with the skills that I had learned from school. I got a job as a technical support technician for a fairly large company. It was cool for awhile but again got bored. Went back to school again and became a Law Clerk/legal assistant. Found a job at a big firm downtown. Bought a brand new house in Whitby. Got married. Had another son. Life is good..
