Michele's Story
Life
I was born in February, 1948. It was raining that day. I lived in an apartment on Redondo with my Mom and Dad until 1950 when my brothers were born. After that we moved into a house in Westchester. When I was 5 we moved to Tucson, Az. My Dad was working there. I was in 1st grade and part of 2nd grade. We moved back to Westchester in 1955 when I was 7. I attended Kentwood at the end of 2nd grade and when we moved again in 1958 I went to Osage Ave. Elem. I was promoted out of 6th grade in June of 1959. I went to Airport Jr. Hi from Sept. of 1959 to June of 1962. In Sept. I attended Westchester High until I graduated in June of '65. Yea, Menelaens! During the summer I worked part-time at a sandwich shop. I went to SMCC from Sept. '65 to June of '66. During that summer I just goofed because I didn't know what I wanted to do. I worked for an insurance company for 3 years. In 1969 I met my future husband, then in November we were married. During the '69-'70 time period I stayed home. In 1970 I went back to work for another insurance company. In 1976 I quit the insurance company to have a baby. I stayed home to take care of my son. In '83, I went back to work for the Savanna School District. I am still wor...Expand for more
king for the district. In 2002 I had a liver transplant. It has been over 5 years now. Today I am healthy and have lost weight and I work out at a ladies gym three days a week. I am planning on retiring in a few years. I am now over 10 years out from my transplant, and I am healthy. I retired in November of 2012. Life is good!
School
I attended kindergarten and first grade at Kentwood Elementary School. We moved to Arizona and I went to two schools there. When we moved back to Westchester, I was re-enrolled at Kentwood. Then we moved to a different district, still in Westchester, but I went to Osage Elementary. After promotion, I went to Airport Jr. Hi. Then I went to Westchester Hi. I attended Santa Monica City College.
College
I went to Santa Monica JC for only a year, so I didn't graduate. I was studying business, but that didn't last very long. What I remember most was pe/dance class. If I had been smart I would have gotten my AA degree. Sometimes I think I would like to go back and get my AA.
Workplace
Since leaving high school, I have had three jobs; two working in insurance and one working for a school district. I'm a public school librarian. I enjoy helping the students find good books to read.
