Trish's Story
After CHS, I went to USF until my junior year. Discovered I was majoring in the wrong field (Learning Disabilities - couldn't distance myself enough from the kids), so took a break and joined the Foreign Legion. Ha! Actually, I joined the Army, in Intelligence, went to language school for German in Monterey, CA, married an Air Force man, and was stationed in Berlin, Germany for 4 years. Berlin was fabulous, but none of us ever thought the Wall would come down.
After returning stateside, to San Antonio, TX, I finished my degree in Interior Design, and went to work for the VA. Although I now have 21+ years of fed service, I took a break to go back to grad school (UGA), then went to Bel...Expand for more
fast, Northern Ireland.
I've raised 5 kids from two marriages - 3 step, and 2 of my own. 3 step-grand kids, and 2 sort-of (my former step-daughter's little girls). My daughter, Larisa (21) is a college senior this year. She taught riding at the local YMCA, and now teaches school groups at the Riverbanks Zoo, here in Columbia, SC. She hopes to stay in education with the Zoo after graduation. Brendan, my son, is 20, majoring in a version of international business, taking Chinese and German. He's in AFROTC, and hopes to fly for the Air Mobility Command (USAF cargo). He's a junior at Univ of So Carolina.
I have very fond memories of our time at CHS, and would love to hear from you all.
