Rebecca's Story
Life
My Spouse
No longer married but...it's a good thing!
My Kids
Her name is Katie Rose and she is 10 years old. She's beautiful, funny, intelligent, precocious and she never lets me rest!
School
The love of my life was Frank Lopez. You know, its true what they say. Your first love always holds a special place in your heart. Heather Good was my best friend ever. Really, more like a sister than a friend. She was really too good for me and I never understood why she wanted to be my friend but I was lucky to have had her in my life for those 5 years.
With one exception, I wouldn't change anything about high school. I didn't have much control over my life and I wasn't very wise in the ways of the world but, then again, that was part of the innocence and simplicity that was so wonderful about school.
College
My theater major at University of Kentucky turned in to a minor degree when I discovered that what is fun doesn't always put food on the table! After a couple of terms being "undecided," I found my true ...Expand for more
calling: tax preparation and accounting (I know: YAWN!). I finished my degree at University of South Florida in Tampa and then Webber University in Central Florida. I got my master's degree from Webber soon after that. I grew a lot as a person at college, finally stepping out on my own was intensely liberating. I was no longer a member of a pack (of friends), and began to really think for myself. It was a shocking awakening, in some ways the beginning of my own life.
Workplace
After working at my father's accounting practice in Sebring, FL for 9 years, I opened my own practice in Feb. '07. It's been fantastic so far, with over 1,400 clients added in my first year and a half open! In June of 2008, I officially became a C.P.A.! Yeah!
It's strange being known so well in this small-ish town, after growing up in "the big city," where you can be pretty anonymous while living a "normal" life. It's made me better, though. I have learned to always shoot for the stars, though it's not always the easiest course to take.
