Edward's Story
I never left the Sierra Vista area after I graduated from High School. I attended Cochise College and graduated from there in 1993.
I worked for Wal-mart for five years. I don't miss it there at all. I now work for Target as a manager. I work in the clothing areas. I am in charge of the women's and men's clothing departments. I am also in charge of intimate apparel (I know way more about bras than any man should) and hosiery departments as well. I actually love the work that I do which is why at this point I am working on year number twelve with the company.
I guess I have changed a lot since high school. In high school, I was very quiet and shy and tended to stay in my own little corner. I was what people would call a nerd I guess. Let's be honest, I was a HUGE nerd. I didn't talk much due several insecurity issues at the time. I was more known in the fine arts departments as I was in choir and band. I was in the swing choir in my last two years and I was the drum major in band during my senior year. In those circles I found some s...Expand for more
ecurity and was able to be myself. If you were one of my friends, you knew that when I came out of my shell I was quite the jokester.
Most people would now say that I am anything but shy. I am very outgoing and more confident. I always try to have fun. If I am not having fun, what's the point of what I'm doing. This had a lot to do with "finding myself" after high school. It turns out I'm gay and admitting it changed my life. I don't care what other people think about it and if anyone has an issue with it, oh well. I have been "out" since 1992 or 1993, I can't remember. At any rate I was a lot happier after coming out and I wouldn't change my life for anything. I am now married, at least in my eyes, to a wonderful man named Jorge. We have been together for nine years and got married in Hawaii (cermonial only, not leagally) two and a half years ago. We have built a life together and have plans for our future. We recently bought a house and are slowly making it our own.
My life is overall happy and where I want it to be right now.
