Dorthina's Story
Life after HMT (condensed version): Initially I went to the now defunct Greenleaf Business College, where I completed a two-year program in just under a year. I wanted to go out of town to college (and was accepted at Howard), but my parents wouldn't let me go because they thought I was 'too young to be on my own'. Lord, did I pitch a fit about that! Didn't help a bit - LOL! Now that I look back I know that they were right - because at 16, I was nowhere near as ready as I thought I was!! I later got married, had two beautiful daughters, got divorced; then went back to school, attending Clayton State University as a non-traditional student with a major in Administrative Management. I worked various jobs along the way (some short periods, others long); including a stint in the...Expand for more
Army, Atlanta Police Department, Southern Railway, U.S. Post Office, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Georgia Department of Human Resources, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I retired from CDC at the end of December 2014. I've had ups and downs along the way, including winning a battle against breast cancer in 1994 - but I always kept my faith and never gave up, no matter how hard things seemed to be. I am a survivor! I have survived, thank God! Of course, my girls are grown now, and I have one granddaughter and one grandson who keep me active and on-the-go!! They are my heart!!! I'm still quiet like I was in high school, still love to read (and read about 2-3 books every week), and basically enjoying life! Much peace to all of you!
