Skylar's Story

Life After High School I joined the Air Force; however, I made the mistake of entering the military with a fiance... and as happens quite often, that fiance ended up cheating on me. It caused me to have an emotional breakdown that got me kicked out of the military. After that I was in a state of near comatose for 2 months, but eventually came out of it and re-joined society. During this time I picked up martial arts as a way to distract my mind from everything that was going on, I got rather good with a sword and I've been practicing since. I tried going to school at ACC towards computer programming with intentions to eventually transfer to UT. At the time, I was living with my dad and his new wife as well as working about 30 hours a week. Eventually, I had determined that there were too many people going into both computer programming and graphics design and too few jobs available... also, my dad and working at the same time as taking classes was driving me completely insane. So after the semester I was enrolled in, I quit school and moved out of my dad's place with intentions to try to make it on my own. During this time period I had another relationship with a beautiful Russian girl, but I was so messed up in the head after what my ex-fiance had put me through that I treated her poorly and was a genuine a**hole to her, to which I have never felt so bad about anything and have not been able to forgive myself for.

nk that is one of the reasons why I have been single since. I started working 2 jobs, Schlotzky's and Fry's Electronics and had started renting a house with a good friend (Larry Johnson). Eventually I had to quit my job at Schlotzky's because Fry's was very demanding of my time. I caught on to things quick there and eventually became the supervisor in charge of the movies and music section, which meant I made alot of money. At some point before my promotion, Jessica Riojas and Trent Bishop moved in with Larry and I, which I gave them the master bedroom considering that they were a couple. Although, eventually they broke up and Jessica moved out. I re-took the master bedroom and Trent moved into the side room; however, about that same time, Shawn Crumbley moved in with us as well so that he wouldn't have to leave Austin. So, Trent's been pretty much sleeping on the couch, although he doesn't complain too terribly much, rent is cheap. I eventually determined that I absolutely cannot stand retail and I wanted to get away from it as quickly as possible. I saw Fry's as a dead-end job that was preventing me from obtaining a real future, and so I quit and returned to school, with my dad's help of course. I am currently enrolled at ACC working towards a degree in Engineering and I intend to transfer to UT eventually to finish up my bachelor's in Aeronautical Engineering with a minor in mechanical. That is where I am now... a single college student with no money.
