Kelly's Story
Life
Life has been a fun journey for me since graduating from high school. I left Kansas City in August of 83 headed for Little Rock, AR to attend Philander Smith College. Wouldn't trade those years for anything. I met people that helped me define the person that I am today, and some are still hanging around.
After that I worked for the Boy Scouts in Little Rock and Minneapolis for a total of 8.5 years. When you add in my time as a youth member, volunteer, and employee, I logged in 25 years with the BSA.
After that, my next career move was into teaching. I started out in Dallas, TX. Worked 4 years there then got an itch to move to the east coast.

ast cities I have always wanted to visit. I'm 1.5 hours from DC and 2 hours from NYC, so I get to those two often.
The one thing I love about teaching is having my summers off. For the past 5 summers I have packed my car and took off on a roadtrip that covers about 5000 miles in 4 - 6 weeks visiting friends and family along the way.
Well, that's all the "interesting" stuff. Not married, no kids, no pets. Just enjoying life to the fullest. I love taking the train into the city (live out in the burbs) and getting my happy hour drink on with friends. Other than that, I'm floating around here on the internet or grading papers. LOL
Workplace
