Yvette's Story
Life has been very interesting. Married young, had my daughter, went back to school and then single again. Lived in Edmonton, Kelowna, New Westminster, Vancouver, then off to Australia where I live now.
Owned a plumbing company during the boom time, shared owner in a photo studio - won awards and worked with high profile people. Worked in film then got my Business Management and Marketing, Advertising & Corporate Communications.
Happily married in Australia became an international consultant throughout the Pacific Islands.
Bred and show Champion Toy Poodles and now would like to slow down a bit. But work does not seem to be slowing at all!
And now the the Story Wizard Questions..
I always wanted to be a Veterinarian when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a silly idea. As it turns out, they were right, due to my allergies...
I like to surf the net, play games, have been researching genealogy for 15 years to write a story. I also like to catch up and keep in touch with old school friends.
Believe it or not some of my greatest influences have been my high school friends. I see the wonderful things they have achieved in their individual ways and know that I could achieve anything I put my mind to.
Adversities in life always surprise me. Trying to right the wrongs have shown me strength I did not know I had. Very early on it was necessry for me to become an individual and not rely on anyone. I then discovered who I was. (I know very c...Expand for more
liche.)
If I could improve my home, I'd remodel the exterior decking and add on a sunshine room..
My daughter has grown to be one of the best Moms I know and I am very proud of her. She has just had another Birthday & I have asked her not to remind me of how old she is getting, as it only ages me. LOL
For the most part I am truly happy now in Australia, with my hubby, dogs and my computer. To complete this picture I would love to see more of my family and do more travelling.
My current age is 56. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be way way over the hill. I was so completely wrong - so glad 50 is the new 40..
Career aspirations - advertising whiz, corner office and enjoying what I am doing. No corner office, but I have travelled throughout the Northern and Southern hemisphere - which became one heck of an office!
I received business awards from the City I was living in (Australia) and an award winning photographer in Canada. Spoke at a Government Innagural meeting on motivating volunteers and committee work. These are a few of my favourite things LOL.
I suppose the biggest surprise about me at a high school reunion would be that I had ambitions for the future, but probably didn't show them cause I was having too much fun. Since leaving school it has been head down, tail up with a strong emphasis for the values of education.
That is it for the story wizard. Let me know how you are going. Contact me - would love to hear from you.
