Cherie's Story
Life
Hi, Everybody!!!
I went to college at B'ham Southern until 1969, when I ran away to New York to try to become an actress -- I became a data processor instead, which started my love for computers. I came back to B'ham soon after, pursued a career as a freelance writer, interviewing people like Wayne Rogers, Ozzie Ozbourne, Jimmy Page, etc., then settled into working for a local PR firm and doing taxes on the side.
As I always said I would do, I went to England to study abroad. Of course, it took going to UAB in the '90s -- I went to London in 1993, then went to Glasgow, Scotland in 1995. When the class was over in 1995, instead of going back right away, two other brave souls stayed with me, and we crossed the channel from Dover to Calais, France, then rented a car...Expand for more
and bummed around France, Italy, Switzerland, and a small part of Spain for six weeks. It took me a while, but I finally realized my dream.
I graduated with a BS in Psychology, then went on to UAB graduate school, where I graduated in March of this year with an MS in Health Informatics. I am now looking for a job while living in Southside -- just waiting for those bills for the student loans to come due!
Freed from the shackles of marital bliss, I'm involved with a guy who shares my love for computers.
My dad died on 8/31/08 and my mom had to go into a nursing home soon after. I'm living in their home in Trussville,and I'd love to hear from old friends!
