Shirley's Story

Life Life changes constantly for me.. after 9 years coding medical records mid-life screamed at me. I went blond(covers the grey better)and found a great Sicilian guy.. life changed..we had a rough patch, I left to live with an northern Italian in Italy and Abu Dhabi where this one worked in construction. My heart cried for my Sicilian, so I returned to US..I cannot find suitable employement..so I do odd jobs for cash...but my creditors are unhappy.I re-entered college (Wash U) and am trying to get those dumb degrees. I am majoring in International Studies and speak also Italian and German. I hope I can discover my future. Presently, still seeing my Sicilian... I love the internet and have many friends around the world..I have a few indecent proposals and a few genuine ones for places to stay, if I ever get the cash together.Don't know If I will make it to the reunion..whether it is lack of cash, or I will be somewhere else.. I did not care much for high school. I was just biding time. School I would have to say that the teacher that inspired me the most was Les Dinwddie.. I had him for Modern Media. He had great energy and always wanted to know his audiance(students). He always took time to listen and was(still is) very perceptive.We learned about Marshal McCluen and "personal points of reference" 2nd Michelle Bretch for a history class. She had the Joan Biaz thing going on..She...Expand for more
called us students "people" instead of boys and girls. We learned deeply about racism and prejudice of all sorts.. She inspired me to meet people of all origin to find out their perceptions. NO, I would NOT want to go back to high school..unless it was a private school in Europe.. When I moved here in '71..the credits from my Iowa school all transferred and I only needed ONE stinking class to graduate....but would they let me grauate in 72...NO..because you had to apply for early graduation in 9th grade..I did not live here then.. Can you sense a bit of resentment? College I am presently attending university to go to Bachelor and beyond(maybe).. I have 2 Assoc degrees and it took FOREVER to get those because I was a full time Mom, worked a full time job and was married to an abusive A-hole.. my time for study was midnight -2am.. I had a horrible time.. I was told to go through a special program to graduate and make money, by the husband..but he was NEVER supportive in any way. I had a TERRIBLY tough time..It is a wonder I survived . He made me walk the 13 miles to junior college because my car did not run. It was a trash existance I would not wish on ANYONE. Workplace done just about everything.. longest job held was coding medical records..(boring) presently looking..and doing odd jobs. Everything from auto repair, to carpentry, to costumer.. may start own buisness..not sure
