Katelyn (was Carla)'s Story
I legally changed my first name from Carla to Katelyn as a gift to myself on Christmas eve 1989.
You may wonder why I am listed as a Chatard graduate since I didn't graduate from Chatard High School. I actually graduated from Broad Ripple night school where I attended for one semester to grab the last 2 credits needed to move beyond high school This, after spending a semester in the hospital and falling behind my classmates during my senior year.
I didn't fit in anywhere so Chatard is as close to Home as I can get. I was the weird kid with no real friends. I did have some acquaintances I hung out with for short stints but I was never close to anyone an...Expand for more
d I suspect these people never considered me part of their clique or circle. I got out and moved on.
Why am I posting this? Because I want others who suffered through school to know they are/were not alone. I came out at 15 and back then, it was not something to share with anyone. The scars fade over decades but still itch from time to time. We learn to live with them and to let go of the pain. But life does go on!
I have been with my wife for since 1992 -and we married in New York in 2014. We live on a 178 acre farm in Indiana. I am a systems support manager in the IT department for a company in Indianapolis where Ive worked since 1997. Life is good.
