Karen Milza:  

ut. And that's where I am on 7/12/11. 2007-2008: my life: I partied with no responsibilities for a long time. I got married in my late 30's, had one son, went back to school and became a nyc english /special ed. teacher. i moved out to southampton. my husband died in 2000. i live in southampton with my 17 yr. old son. he's kind of a genius and is nothing like i was at his age. he'll be graduating in june and assumably he'll go away to college. i currently teach special ed at beach channel hs in the rockaways. my married name is milza, which i use. the bad news about my life right now is that i have a very long commute to work. the good news is that i love where i live, have a lot of close friends and i never got fat. for this, and for having a great child, i am very grateful! School for the most part, school sucked. I teach HS and I still think school sucks. College it took me 25 years to finally get a ba.; another 2 yrs to get a masters degree and then i took an additional 30 credits in special education. and, i can still only type by using one finger. Workplace i teach special ed.and ela. i taught for several years at riker's island prison in one of the schools that they have for incarcerated adolescent males. i ran a program for nyc teenagers at phoenix house in easthampton, taught ged in the rockaways and now teach at beach channel hs in rockaway park. I stlii teach at BCHS biut the school is closing and the kids run wild down the halls. Everyone is in a gang. At least I learned that gang members can be nice people too. Military none
