connie's Story

in aug. 2011 i am re-entering college for micor-computer specialist. i recently lost both breasts due to breast cancer. i live alone and love it, as now i only cook and clean up after one person ME and i love it. i worked 10 yrs at houghton deli, but due to my great boss passsing from cancer the place sold to larry bentler and i wasn't rehired. i loved that place he was the best boss that anyone could ask for. now that i live alone i love spending time with my sister, Cece, and my kids and my grandkids. i have 7 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. i'm in my happy zone right now. I always wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a great idea. As it turns out, they were right i should have pushed myself. reading and playing games on the computer If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have courage, friendliness, and ambition to be able to deal with the day-to-day. my hero was my mother especially during the last few years of her life The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is my mother, because i miss her so much so i have to change my ways to see her. don't care much for sports but will watch them, and i hate reality shows. i have a dog that was rescued and a cat named puppy. If I could improve my home, I'd remodel my spare bedrooms as i already done the rest and add on a large front room so i can use the one i have now for a large dining area. My dream home would be a 3 bedroom logcabin. how to appreciate the small things in life. so stop and smell the roses. now goin to college in aug 2011 on-line but would rather go to college it would be easier than what i am going to start My current age is 56. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be passed on . I was so completely right on. for the last 14 yrs i have worked in convient stores around people and love this kind of work My best friend would tell you I'm considerant, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as likeable. i hate jeans anymore, guess that is a sign of agin cause i like to be comfortable the biggest victory i have is my children In 10 years, I hope to be still alive. I'm going to get there by takin better care of myself. linda morris was my oldest and best friend and i don't see her much now we kinda went our separate ways My first job was at sheaffer pen co, where I got paid 5.35 an hour to be a receptionist. What I remember most about it is i loved the job but only stayed a year as i wanted to be around people so started bartending. my favorite memories was my aunt clara comin and gettin me out of the house to spend summers with her and travel all over campin out I always wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a...Expand for more
grand idea. As it turns out, they were wrong. I go across the bridge and scream lol If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have nice car, good on gas, and great friends to be able to deal with the day-to-day. My mother was my hero she made me who I am a very hard-working independent woman The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Susie Frank Kim Anderson, because at one time we were very good friends and I miss Suzie laughter. I hate reality tv but love my pets. Their are so many pets out there that are abused or dumped to starve and if these people would realize how that it is one of Gods creations they would think twice. What if they are reincarnated as an animal? Think they would love the beatings or starving or even on a chain 3 feet long and no shade. They need their ass kicked. If I could improve my home, I'd remodel my bedroom and add on a a huge frontroom. My dream home would be my home now with add on front room and master bathroom and a surround porch or even a better porch.. I have learned as the years go on that kids are more disrespectful than our times and alot lazier. On ly like Greek art My current age is 57. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be dead. I was so completely wrong but glad I was wrong due to missing parents now. I loved every job I has as it made me a better person and let me try different jobs till I found my calling. My best friend would tell you I'm happy person, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as very independant and strong. I dress any different age groups and styles from the 60's to the now a days as I just love to change I share my home with my son as of 2 months ago, which I find relaxing (sometimes) but happy he is home around the family. My biggest victory is going back to college at 56 yrs old and getting on the deans list and then the next year being on the arts and science academy to show my kids follow your dreams of the past and hold onto it no matter how long it takes. In 10 years, I hope to be healthy and cancer free. I'm going to get there by hard work and love from God. Linda Morris was my oldest and dearest friend as we grew up together in the same town and actually found things to do that wre fun and sometimes trouble makers LOL My first job was at Sheaffer Pen Co, where I got paid $5.65 to $ 6.00 when I left. What I remember most about it is I loved that job but wasn't around enough people so . The only childhood memory I can savor is when my Aunt knew my brother was beating me every time my Mom and Dad left so she would come up with excuses so I could stay with her alot. Well it's been over a year since I lost my son Jeff and it don't get any easier with time. I miss him so much
