Sheryl (Used to be S's Story
Hi there, After high school, I started right away at Cal State Long Beach. I decided that I wanted to donsomething more exciting at the time, and dropped out. I went to Paramedic school. I graduated, ended up getting hired by what would become Orange County Fire Dept. Most of my career was out of the Cypress station (which is the station that served La palma, and Kennedy High). I gave many CPR lectures and paramedic shows for Mr. Humrighouses health class. I retired from that in 1992 after a back injury. I am now a Psychiatric Technician (Psych nurse) at a prison in Northern CA.
I married my high school sweetheart Robin, and we produced three wonderful children. We got divorced in 1998, but share three wonderful, smart, and very cute grandkids.
I was a varsity heavyweight wrestler in high school, played the trumpet and Souzaphone my soph, and Junior years. I was a sraight shooter, who didnt do drugs or get in trouble.
I forgot to mention that the whole time I was in school, and in my young life, I had a secret. I was really a girl, stuck in the wrong body. I tried counseling, macho job, sports etc to make the feeling go away. Alas the only way to fix the proble...Expand for more
m was surgery. I has sexual reassignment surgery in 1999. These feelings cost me Robin, but not my kids, and thankfully not my life. I had gotten so depressed in the wrong body, that suicide was being entertained as a real possibility. Thank God that I had the courage to do what I did. I would have missed out on seeig my 2 boys and my daughter become excellent adults. And I would have missed out on my grandsons.
I am not ashamed of who I am. I go to Fire Department reunions, high school reunions, and anywhere I please.
I work in a level IV prison yard. The toughest and baddest men the depaartment of corrections can offer. I am neither intimidated or afraid. They can take me or leave me.
I love to sing Karaoke, and family times often turn into Karaoke fest. feel free to email me direct at psychotech2 at yahoo.
Oh yeah, I won for most changed at last reunion LOL.
Is it any wonder? High school wrestler to firefighter to grandma.ha ha..what a ride. I love life. Oh yeah, I used to be Steve, but now I am Sheryl.
I am now re-retired from the Calif. Dept of Corrections. I am currently (as of July 2012) living in Ottawa , Kansas
Loving life with my kids and Grandkids.
