Theresa Cassara:  

My story? Yawnsville I'd say. Started working Cleveland Clinic Pharmacy since 1981 and left in 1999...saw the whole pharmacy technician thing evolve. Married since 1989. I have three kids born 1991, 1994 and 1995. My daughter is the middle rugrat. My youngest son was diagnosed with autism at age 2.5 and I've been an advocate ever since. Waited til I got older to finally pursue a communications degree at Baldwin-Wallace...got three years done and 2 certifications..one in Organizational Development, the other in Human Resources. Got involved in local politics, ran for school board twice in Maple...and what a run it was! My life has always been backward,but I'm still a goofball with a lil extra cush, gray hair and I STILL have teenage acne!!! What the!? Any of ya'll a dentist or dermatolgist who will hook an ol' pal up? I'm heading over to change.gov to pester the new administration about health care coverage, discrimatory job application processes and matters concerning people with disabilities. I still take the bull by the horns. check out autismspeaks on the web. Godspeed to all! Ephesians 6: 10-18 The "story wizard" classmates designed: How do I blow off steam?

As it turns out, they were nutz themselves. Now that I have grown up quite a bit and only matured over the last ten years, I walk a pretty good pace, and get myself to The Word for a word of proper motivation to refrain from regressing to my cussin' days. ;) The wildest thing I did in high school? uh..hmmm, er ah...was I wild? I don't think I was wild. I know I wasn't. If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have some level of autonomy, good team of people to work with, and a supervisor who respects people to be able to deal with the day-to-day. Do I have a hero? Not just one. My mom because she beat her addiction and got her degree ten years before she died of cancer. She had a newfound determination and was able to focus on goals like I had never known and didn't learn myself until late in life. I have several other heroes alive and dead who have changed history...some you don't know who make a difference in the lives of people everyday. My youngest son, Nate is a hero. He has autism and a heart of pure gold. I only wish everbody could truly know l...Expand for more
