Kary's Story

Life Hello everyone, I hope some of you remember me. I married Mike Woods one week after graduation, and in our 7 year marriage we lived in Waverly, TN, and had 2 children. But since 1990 I have lived in Camden,TN with my current husband, Robert Swanson, an Industrial Electrical/Mechanical Technician for Dupont's Argon plant (Air-Liquide) in New Johnsonville,TN. We had one son together. We spent the first part of our marriage touring the Southeastern US while working Construction. But as the children grew, we moved back home. I now work parttime as a Marketing Researcher and in the Deli at Wal-Mart and spend weekends and summers with my family at our Lake House in Eva, TN. boating, skiing, and tubing. School I attended school at St. Louis, Michigan until the 10th grade. I attended Michigan Ave. School, Carrie Knause School, and T.S. Nurnberger Middle School. I have gone back to visit these schools and they are still there. (To my surprise) My sophmore year I transferred to TN and finished school at Waverly Central H.S. Go Tigers!! I was positive I was going to be a Nurse. Excelling in Health Occupations and all. But after being a CNA for a short time, I realized it was not for me. I did not go to College, I went down the wife and mother path instead. I wonder how many of the class of 1982 are today, working in the field they were driving toward i...Expand for more
n High School. ?? Workplace Since I left High School, I have been searching for the perfect job. I still haven't found it yet. I worked at Nautilus Memorial Hospital(Three Rivers)in the Housekeeping Dept. Then Best Western at Buffalo, Head Housekeeper. Then I took off to have a family. When I divorced and remarried, I traveled and Homeschooled my children. That IS work! When money got tight, I went to work at my husbands job as an Office Clerk. When we moved back home, I put the children in public school and became a full time substitute teacher. When they outgrew me being at school all the time, I decided to open my own Business. A Country Store/Restaurant it lasted about a year but the overhead got the best of me, so I had to shut it down. I went to work at the old ACME BOOT in Waverly with my sisters for awhile, but got laid off. I spent some time being a Marketing Researcher for several different Companies and I turned in my reports online. I set my own days and hours, which was nice, but I soon got bored with it. So I went to work for our brand new Wal-Mart SuperCenter in the Deli Dept. This is a good job, but we are so under-staffed, we barely can keep up, and are always rushing. Never seeming to get caught up. I keep thinking, when I grow up maybe I'll figure out what I want to be. Congratulations to those of you who knew from the start.
