School
How nice a School Biography. Not much to tell here.I did not enjoy school that much when growing up because of all the teasing I got. I was in Cody Elementary then Black Hawk Jr. High then Pleasant Valley High School. I took a break for a while and worked at fast food places and took temp jobs. Then took 2 semesters at Scott Community College. I was planing my wedding and tried a program from Education direct. I got married. And a year latter my program ran out of time. I decided to not to continue with the extra fee to continue. I don't know what I want to do with my life work wise. But I don't care. I am fine on what ever life has in store for me.
College
Me and college we don't get along. I am always changing what I want to be. I went to Hamilton Tech to become a nurses aid. I did not go there because I wanted to but it was to make my parents proud of me. But that did not go so well because I did not like it and making my parents happy was not worth it. I learned to not to do things to make my parents proud. Because my parents would...Expand for more
be proud of me no matter what. Then later on I took two semesters of Scott Community. Just general stuff. Then well you know I got married and moved. I took a online course to become a web page designer. It ended before I did. But it was not for me. Well that is it no more for now or ever. I don't care. I am happy.
Workplace
After high school I did alot of fast food jobs and went through 2 temp agencies plus baby sitting. Mr Boyd had the right idea in Jr High when he made fun of fast food places. He was just trying to tell us in his own way not to work at them. I know why, once you start working fast food it is hard to get out of with out retail experience or a degree in some thing useful. I don't have a degree in any thing. So you know me finding a job was hard. When I got married I became a house wife. It is nice but it can be boring doing about the same thing day after day. So Christmas season of 04' I actually got a seasonal job at the Discovery Channel Store it was a blast for me. Plus it gave me the experience I wanted and it gave me courage to look for another retail job down the road. I am starting working at Bed Bath Beyond December 13th '05. It was stressful so no big surprise I was fired or quit the ending was so complicated, so the ending was just based on whose prospective you looked in from.Oh well. Whatever will be will be.
Military
I did not join the military. I was only born a military brat. My sort of father was in the military. But I guess I am still a military brat because my step dad was in it before he retired. Yep ... I am a Brat.
