Cheri's Story
Life
Let's see, What have I been up to since High School. Well, I went to Illinios to College then returned to California fairly soon after. Being away for school just wasn't for me. I got married in December of 1992 and gave birth to my first child in July 1993. When that didn't work out, I was divorced after 5 years. My second child, a girl was born in March of 2000 and then my last was born in March of 2002. During this time After my first son was born, I lived in Modesto. I worked as a front office medical clerk and then a TV/VCR Repair shop as a Office manager and minor repair person.
In December of 2001, I started attending Fresno's Institute of Technology in Clovis. I graduated in October of 2002. By December, I had gotten a job with Spreckels Sugar in Mendota as an Accounts Payable Clerk where I have been ever since. I was promoted to Asst. Warehouse Manager in January 2005 and am enjoying being Second in charge. Add Note: I have been acting Warehouse Manager since April 2006 and have been enjoying taking charge.
School
There isn't much I can say about school. I liked school not because I was good in school but mostly because it was my way of getting away from home. I know I did my best in school and I took all college prep classes but I really wish I would have taken something that would have done me some good in life.

rned from life experience. I really wish I would have had more fun in high school.
College
College was a nightmare for me and being so far away from home was really hard. I just wasn't prepared for it.
When I finally went back to school I was stuck in classes with kids that were barely older than my own. That was rough but I was able to teach them a thing or two about life. It was really bad when my teacher was younger than me.
Well, I did it. I have started taking classes and am working on my Masters in Business Administration.
Workplace
After graduation I worked as a receptionist at Britz Fertilizers in Five Points. I moved and decided to stay home after I had my oldest son. When I did go back to work, I was a receptionist at Planned Parenthood in Modesto. Less than a year later, I was hired as General Office Manager of a TV/VCR Repair shop, where I spent the next three years. When I had my second child, I went to work at a local Day Care so that I could spend time with the kids while I still worked. After the birth of my 3rd child, I was hired at Spreckels Sugar as an accounting clerk and in January 05 I was promoted to Assistant Warehouse Manager. In April of 06 my manager left the department and I became acting Warehouse Manager. This is where I still am today and loving every minute of it.
Due to the economy, I have been happily unemployed since 09, currently looking for work.
