Donnamarie's Story
Life
My life has been an incredible journey so far and I don't see it that the future should be any different. Upon graduating in 1985 I began working and traveled to Hawaii where I met the man I would later marry in 1991 Steve. He was in the Navy so upon marrying we moved to Northern California and I had my first child, a daughter Ashleigh. We then moved to San Diego, CA and in 1993 we welcomed another child, a son Austin. We divorced in 1998 and the kids & I moved to Northeastern Pennsylvania where I still happily reside with my second husband David and our 3 cats Hemi, Honey & Sweetpea.
School
Unfortunately I did not love my school experiences as any young girl should have. I put far too much pressure on myself and didn't do nearly all that I wanted to. I would love to have the opportunity to do it all over again and of course much smarter!! My favorite teacher was Mr. Flanigan. He inspired me to be a better person and student.
Workplace
I have had several career paths in the past 20 years. I started as a receptionist upon graduating in 1985 for a small company in West Babylon, NY called TMC. I then worked as a receptionist for the corporate offices of a plumbing supply company in Hickville, NY, Blackman Plumbing Supply Co. I later w...Expand for more
ent into retail sales of children's clothing in Manhasset, NY, Childrenswear House. Then married and raised my children while running an inhome daycare for military families. When I moved to PA a worked part-time at first for a local school district, Wallenpaupack Area School District in their cafeteria (good hours for working mommies). I then went to work for a local bank, Wayne Bank in Honesdale, PA where I began as a teller then a customer service rep. I then obtained my property and casualty insurance license and began working for a local insurance company, JE Hoffman Agency in Hawley, PA. As of January 2005, I started working for a local Rotor-Rooter company in Narrowsburg, NY just over the border from my home in PA, I am a secretary/dispatcher, I took this job because I was bored to tears at my insurance job and needed something more diverse. Since the last installment I have worked as a paralegal for a small local law firm and am currently at home caring for my mother who came to reside with us in 2006. Who knows what I'll do next! The most rewarding, difficult and important job of my life has been the raising of my 2 wonderful children Ashleigh & Austin as well as being allowed to be a part of my step daughters Katie & Christina's lives.
