Judy Quantz:  

teaching credentials to be able to teach pharmacy tech and further my career. Nursing is also an option. Also hoping to move back to California in a couple of years so I can be around my (future) grandchildren. My oldest son Aaron Michael is 30 and married to his sweetheart Tina since June 2006. Middle son Ryan is almost 25 and has been married to his wife Megan since March 2008. Both still live in the Los Angeles area. Daughter Caitlin is 22 and lives in Honolulu, HI with her Navy boyfriend Steve. They plan to marry soon. Onward and upward! Workplace Career. Always worked, mostly part-time while my kids were growing up. At one time after all my kids were in school I worked 3 part-time jobs. My varied and checkered work history included stints as a campus supervisor, clerical assistant, student aide for developmentally disabled students, and health aide for Castaic Middle School in Castaic, Ca., administrative assistant for a non-profit adoption agency in Los Angeles, food service cashier at Valencia and Hart and Canyon High Schools in Ca., Avon representative, manager at Curves for Women in Castaic,CA. Among my volunteer work at various schools and churches; teacher's aide, Sunday School teacher, religious education instructor, Confirmation facilitator, day-care worker, school newsletter editor, Marriage Encounter team member, Cursillo team member, Girl Scout/Boy Scout leader for 10 years, as well as the knowledge that one acquires from raising three children, conducting a 26-year marriage, and living for 53 years (so far). Successes, failures, compromises, lessons learned, hindsight, foresight, interaction with many different people from many different socio-economic backgrounds, ethnic ancestries, faiths, etc. has taught me tolerance, compassion, and has given me a wider world-view. My travels have also given me a more global perspective.
