Sarah (Sally)'s Story
Life
I married Michael on October 12, 1996, after 8 1/2 years of being together. We hit 17 years of being together this June (2005).
Last April (2004), we purchased a house in West Creek, NJ on 1.3 acres in the woods. It is so beautiful and peaceful here. After a long day with teenagers, it is my retreat!
We have two dogs: Darwin (10 years old) and Ragnar (11 months old) Darwin is beagle, hound, lab & chow, but looks like a cross between a golden lab and a beagle. She talks like a beagle too!!! Ragnar is my sweet little snuggle dog. He is a true Heinz 57 dog and the vet has named about 10 possible breeds he could be. He is 11 months old (2/06) and we just love him.
I took my husband for his 50th birthday in 2003 to Rome between Christmas & New Year's. What an awesome place. We even got tickets to attend the New Year's Eve services which the Pope performed. It was amazing! I suggest anyone go to Rome. However, a note - Don't stand in the streets New Year's Eve and don't wear a dress with high-heeled boots. Yes, I now know why people get trampled at soccer games.
In November, 2005, my husband took me to Paris for my 40th birthday present. Now, I thought Rome was awesome, but Oh, Paris how FABULOUS. We rented a small apartment in a 16th Century building right across the Seine from Notre Dame. It has been the most AWESOME city I have ever been to. Yes, it is the CLEANEST city (tied with San Francisco) that I have ever been too. Friendly as well. Don't let the gossip about this beautifu...Expand for more
l city fool you!!!
College
After waking up at the age of 22, I embarked on my college days. I worked and went to school so I missed out on all that "college" stuff. I started out at Georgian Court for 4 years and then transferred to Stockton where I attended full time for 3 years. After 7 years of toil, I received my BS degree in Biology in May, 1995.
In December, 2006 I received my MS in Biology from Georgian Court University. My particular area of study was immunology with my paper entitled "DNA Vaccines and Their Use in Cancer Immunotherapy", aka Cancer Vaccine research. It was awesome.
Workplace
After high school, I various jobs and then worked as a commercial teller at 1st National Bank of TR. When I was 21, I left there and worked for a law firm for many years. Yes, that is where I met my husband. Once I started school (college) full-time, I again went to work for a bank: Commerce bank as a teller. Then after college graduation, I again had to turn to the legal field for about 1 year. That is when I got my break into teaching.
I taught at a small parochial school in Margate (Blessed Sacrament). After 2 years and 2 mos there, I finally landed my position at Southern Regional High School. I have been there for 6 years now. I teach Biology and Ecology (a course which I developed for 3rd year science requirements). I am extremely happy at Southern. I am Treasurer of my union and extremely involved in that aspect. Southern is a really wonderful place to work (sans the kids, lol).
