Elma's Story
Life
Hi Everyone!
If you're reading this I hope it's because you are interested in what's happening in my life now ... just as I would love to keep up to date in what is happening in my old friends' lives. Hoping every one of them is HAPPY and at PEACE.
I'll make my story brief ... that way you can contact me and find out more ...LOL. After graduating from SG in '84, I went to Whittier College where I graduated from in '88 with a BA in English. I received my teaching credential from there in 1989. (Those of you who knew me might remember that I always wanted to teach.) I am currently an ESL teacher and ESL department chair for the Norwalk-La Mirada Adult School in Norwalk. Have taught there since 1992.
Also at Whittier College, I met my future husband. W...Expand for more
e were married in Jan 1992. But, unfortunely, though he's a good man ... our marriage just didn't work ... so we divorced in 1999. BUT, the best thing that came from that relationship is our 12 year old son. His name is Enrique and he is the center of my life. Thankfully I met my current husband, Steve, late in 2000 and we were married on April 9, 2006. In 2007, we adopted a MinPin and named him Lucky.
Let's just say that they are the three most important men in my life now ... my son, my hubby and my doggie. And, just FYI, for those of you who knew my family ... my brother Edric Mendia ('85) is still single and doing well. Mom and Dad are great too. Thank God. The sad news is that grandma passed away in 1998. We miss her.
Hope to hear from my old friends soon. :)
