Sharon's Story
Life
My name is Sharon Rose Bauer and
I've been many places,done many
things,and have at present,one dear husband,6 children,12 grand
children and 2 great grandchildren.My family is scattered all over the country
and I don't get to see them very
often.I reside in Edgemont,S.D.
with my husband,Hank,I've made
many mistakes in life,have a few
regrets,wish I could do a few
things over but with all the ups
and downs I feel I've weathered
lifes many storms and now have
reached a plateau in my life where
I can finally settle back and en
joy life.
I've seen just about all the states except Hawaii,and ended
back where i started from.They
always say "you can't go home",
but I live not many miles from
where I was born.
I'm in the middle of a free
lance writers course and at the end of it I hope to write a novel
and hopefully break into the
writing field.This is something
I've been striving for all my life
but there was always something
stopping me from achieving my
goal.
I'm also into writing poetry
and have had a few pieces put into
poetry books on the market.
School
What do I say about Martin Grade
School when it seemed I was sick
a lot with sinus problems,ear aches,and the winters were so long & cold with lots of snow and
I couldn't get to school because of blizzards.I loved to read and
write poetry so that was a plus and my favorite teacher was Mrs.
Utz in 7th grade.She had a beautiful personality.I remember
in 5th grade staying after school
when I couldn't seem to comprehend
fractions,and my dad growing ...Expand for more
im
patient because he had work to do at the farm and he was waiting down in front of the school for me
to come out.I told my teacher I
had to go to the bathroom and when
I got to the bathroom I went through an exit door put there
in case of fire,and slid down the
fire escape and ran to my dad's car.My mother had conference at
the same time with my teacher but
they couldn't find me in the bathroom.My dad got a chuckle
out of that but my mother and teacher weren't too happy.HaHa.
High School at Martin was
okay but nothing to brag about.
If I'd applied myself more I
would have done better but all
I was interested in was writing
and my English teacher,Zane Zeiman,was great and I learned
a lot from him.Junior year I
wrote a paper on Americanism
and got an A on it and had to
get up and say in front of the
American Legion.i guess I should
be proud that I graduated be
cause I was the first in my family ofbrothers and sisters that
graduated from high school.
My favorite classes were English
and Library.If I had it to do over
I'd change a lot of decisions I
made after high school.
Workplace
I was forced into an early retirement due to an truck/train
accident that occurred back in 1978 that finally caught up with me.I worked for years and my back kept deteriating to the point my doctor told me,"no more lifting."
So I changed from hard work to going to class online for something I've always wanted to do which is write.Hopefully I will be through my freelance writers course by 2005 and will be able to stay home and write stories.
