Karyn's Story
Life
It has been almost 2 years since the death of my son, Roger, and it never gets any easier. There is no heartache in the world to compare with the loss of your own precious child.
Joe and I are still together, and his two oldest sons, Levi (17) and Derek (15) live with us full-time (along with my daughter Amanda - age 15). We still plan to get married once I finish school.
I am still taking classes, trying to stay focused on the Bachelor's in Technology, should be finished by December of 2006. For the past 3 years, I have been working for the local school district as a technology coach - I train teachers in the use of various software applications and do system maintenance, repair, etc... I really like what I do, you can't ask for mo...Expand for more
re than that.
We are still living in Ohio - the winters here are horrible - I hate the snow and the cold, and I miss the ocean something awful, but the money is good, and the rest of the seasons are really, really nice.
Things have changed alot, and so have I.
College
Received my Associate's in Computer Tech May of 2003. Graduated with honors, and I was the student commencement speaker, which was really awesome. Now I am working on my Bachelor's and tutoring students on-campus in.. you guessed it! Computers!
Returning to school 15 years after high school has been quite and experience, but in a good way. It seems much easier to focus and get things done without all the distractions of early adulthood out of the way. I am having a BLAST!
