Joy's Story
Life
I'm a mother, daughter, lover, sister, and a teacher. Of all the hats that I wear, being a mother is the most fulfilling. I love my daughter with all my heart. She has been my life since the day I knew I was pregnant, and she will be my life until the day that I die. I also look forward to being a grandmother. Since, my daughter is an only child I doubt that I will have that many grandchildren to spoil, but I can always dream.
I have been a widow since 1996, but I have had a new love in my life since 1999. We met through the Internet. He lived in Galveston, TX at the time and now lives in Florida with me. I know that some people have some real horror stories about Internet dating, but I was one of the lucky ones.
When I was young and stupid I had gone to college for about three years, but never finished my degree. Late 2001 I decided to return back to college. I have completed a Bachelor's degree in Business and a Master's degree in Education. I teach Culinary Operations 3 & 4, and Business to students at Winter Haven High School school in Winter Haven, FL.

rst went to college I was enrolled in education classes and dropped out of them because I was so shy and thought that there was "NO WAY" that I could be in front of a class full of strangers. I'm a very shy person, or at least I used to be.
I love to travel and experience different people, art, and cultures. I am a person who loves to learn, I'm like a sponge. That is one of the things that I encourage everyone to do, learn everything that you can, whether you retain it or not.....LEARN!
School
I was such a shy person when I was in high school, I was like a wall flower. I'm not like that now. I've learned to be more assertive and go after what I want out of life.
College
I remember when I was going to Glenville I had a roommate who had the same birthday as me but was one year older. I thought that was a major coinkadink.
Workplace
I've worked at many different places throughout my work life. If I were to put all of the jobs on my resume it would be 4 pages long. I think I'm one of those people who has no clue what they want to be when they grow up. I'm still not really sure, but I love to learn new things.
