Karen Carson:  

I hope people remember me as always having smile. I like to go fishing with my husband. I also like to spend time with my kids. The wildest thing i ever did in high scool was a couple of weeks before school was out our senior year me and a bunch of girls jumped in the back of someone's pickup and skipped the afternoon at school. We went and all got one beer and drank it. I was terrified....i was scared we would get caught. If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have scrubs, stethoscope, and a pen to be able to deal with the day-to-day. I was a medical transcriptionist for 18 years. I worked out of my home and raised my kids. I also helped my husband fight his battle with cancer. When he finally lost his battle in 1994, i went back to Texas Tech and got my nursing degree. I received my inspiration from my husband and practically living in the hospital for 12 years fighting his battle with cancer. I can now help people like they helped us for all those years. I have lived in Lubbock or near Lubbock my entire life. My new husband and I just built a house in the CooperSchool distict. We are very proud of it and very thankful we were blessed to be able to do this. Life does not always turn...Expand for more
