Wanda's Story
Life
Hello everyone,
It's been a long time since I left Fort Knox and moved to Ohio, then Maryland and now West Virginia, but I have never forgotten the fun I had at FKHS!
This is a shout-out to Pricilla and her loooonnnng pretty hair! Is it still long PC? Also to Tracy Countryman, Cheryl Charity, Cedric Dorsey, Charles Leftwitch, Karen Ray, Tracy Brown, Carmen Guzman and the list goes on.
For those interested, I've been married for 18 yrs now, have an 15 yr old son and have been working for the Federal Government, National Institutes of Health (NIH) for the past 18 yrs as well. I work in the field of mental health in neuroscience and we fund applicants in the field of basic neuroscience who wish to obtain their Ph.D or MD in the field. Ahhh, nothing like giving away government money!!
I currently live in West Virginia and commute everyday into Maryland and as everyone has probably heard about the traffic in this area - it's tough. My average day consists of getting up at 4:00am, be...Expand for more
ing on the road at 5:30, arriving to work between the hours of 7:00 to 7:15am. After work, I meet my husband at 4:30pm and usually arrive home between the hours of 5:30 - 6:30pm, depending on the weather and the number of accidents on the road.
Afterwards, cook, spend time with my son, husband, cat and amy usually in bed by 9:30, just to get up and do it all over again. However, I can't complain, we've been making this commute for 11 yrs now, and from what Maryland, Virginia and DC say, the traffic will just continue to get worse since so many people are still continuing to move to this tri-state area.
Going rate for single-family housing in DC, Virginia and Maryland is $700,000 which is why we built in WV. Housing and land is cheaper, plus you get more for the bang. My house is roughly 4,000 square ft with 2 acres which is currently worth $500,000, however; the jobs in the government pay well, so my husband and I can't complain!
I would love to hear from my former classmates!
