Barbara's Story
Life
I am single and living in Virginia, outside of Washington, DC. I share my home with my two rescue mutts who provide lots of love and wagging tails!
I have spent most of my adult life teaching children, ranging in age from 2- 12. I felt that teaching was my calling. However, in 2002 I had to leave my job as a sixth grade teacher and go on disability, due to Chronic Lyme Disease, which I have had since childhood, but was only recently diagnosed. My life has changed, but I am happy with where I am today.
I have three adult children, one married and living in New York City, where he is an educator helping to open a new early childhood school in Queens. He and his wife recently blessed me with my first grandchild, a beautiful little girl.
My middle one recently moved out on his own. He has a BFA in painting and spends a lot of his time working on Hip Hop music. He is taking some graphic design courses to increase his chances of getting a job using his artistic talents.
My youngest, my daughter, is now in her third year at the University of MD Law School and working hard, but loving it! She spent seven years in NC where she attended Elon University and then stayed and worked for three years before returning to VA, boyfriend in tow.
I currently am active in my church, as well as leading an online course for learning to live with chronic illnes...Expand for more
s twice a year. I am also involved in activities in the active adult community where I live. I have a strong support system of friends whom I have met from various parts of my life here.
I enjoy traveling and go to two business conferences each year. I also visit my son, DIL, and granddaughter in NYC, as well as other family members and friends.
College
I attended Philips University in Enid, graduating with a degree in Elementary Education. While at Phillips I felt I really came into my own. I met my now ex-husband and we were married while still in school. I continued with some friends who also attended school there and met many new friends, some of whom I am still in touch with.
Workplace
I have spent all my adult life teaching. I have worked with children from age two all the way up through sixth grade. I really felt that teaching was my calling. Some of the time I worked part-time, to be with my children when they were young. Later, I needed to get benefits for the family, so I re-entered the full-time workforce. I have many fond memories of my teaching and the students I taught.
I now have a very part-time home-based direct sales business as a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. I have met many new friends and had a lot of fun as I have developed this businesses. I work when I am able, usually no more than about five or six hours a week.
