Jacklyn's Story

Life Well what can I say about my life now accept that it is fantastic. I have a terrific daughter who is 13, into sports and who is also a talented artist/cartoonist. Am an Operations Manager for a small company that in June 05 I will have been here officially 11 years now. Am currently single and not looking. I own my home, not too far away from where I grew up. A beautiful 1932 house, owner builder, designed. And it has most all the original fixtures. Currently I am doing some remodeling/refurbishing, and when I say I am, it's really me that is working on the house. Am having a ton of fun doing it too, and so far haven't killed myself or anyone else. What can I say I'm cheap labor. School What can I say about my school life? I was the over weight kid that most people didn't pay much attention to, unless it was of course to give me a bad time. But I don't harbor any hard feelings about that. Kids will be kids I guess. The best time I had in school was in Mr. Pucci's music class. I guess then being invisable helped because the school administration never noticed I dropped all my regular classes for a schedule of all music classes, which gave me ironicaly a 4.0 grade point. Ha. I never finished High School per se dropping out in my Junior year to move away from home and work. But I did go back and get my GED several years later, finishing in the top percentile of the state. Not too shabby for a kid that hardly cracked a book. Would I change what happened to me in school, no not really, even through all the hurt that I went throug...Expand for more
h, I wouldn't be the person I am now without that experience. And I truely like the person I am now, not many people I have encountered can say that. Workplace FIWA was my first "real" job, just having completed teller training school, but before that working in a store that sold sexual aids, I went in the opposite direction. Working there taught me alot about myself and dealing with others. The bank gave me a lot of opportunity to grow and take more schooling which I couldn't other wise afford. I was a sponge and soaked up every class I could. I met some really cool people working there, also met some really insecure people there. But I look uppon my experience there as an overall good one. Banking helped me get to where I am now. It was a great stepping stone. Also one of the most enlighting life changing, experiences happened during my last days there. I was pregnant and delivered my daughter during my employement there but shortly after having her I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. Which was an emotionally and physically harrowing experience for me. I went through hell but I'm afraid I took a few people that I worked with there with me, and for that I am sorry. Shortly after that I left FIWA, and it was the best thing that ever had happened to me. After some time (about 6 months) I went back to work and started at the job I have now. I just celebrated my 9th year here and am second highest ranked and paid employee in the corporation. The best thing is they know of my disorder, and accept me for what I am, a valuable person.
