Malerie Meyers:  

Life I am a single parent and also a foster parent. So we have a house full. As ususal, I want to save the world so why not start with our kids. I have 2 boys who are now 10&12 and a foster son who is my 3rd boy and is 15. Two of my foster daughters who are now 19 & 21 with their own girls are living here as well so you can say there is never a dull moment around here and we like it like that. Those of you who know me know that I never like to be bored. After school everyday I was off to work at Thew Gym and once the weekend hit, Circus here we come. Nothing's changed I still love hanging with my girls. We stay busy here in Florida so if you ever get bored and need a break, give me a call. By the way, Thank you Mr.Schmidt for being such a great teacher. School Wow! The first crush I ever remember having was on the paper boy and his name was Stephen Spears in Yokohama, Japan. I lost all hope of him ever liking me back when I snuck out of the house at the age of 7 with a friend who was staying the night and lost her off base. She was not too bright. Well, his Mom came out of the house to find out why I was walking down the street at 2a.m. and called security so I made sure I never had to face him again. For friends, I made tons of great friends around the world and am still in touch with most of them. I thank God for bringing such amazing people into my life. Enemies, well I can't say I ever had any. I never had any problem saying what I felt, just in case any of you forgot :-) but I do recall having a few fall outs with some guy, I think his name was Jimmy Davis. :-) Who later became all right with me when he coached our Senior victory in Powder Puff- Go YO-HI. Jimmy is someone I'll never forget. Who could forget the night Tish knocked a girl out at Circus because she was talking smack and before I could respond, the girl fell to the floor. Then the american bouncers snuck us out of the club like we were fugitives. It was a trip. Go Tish! Pinky, that's my girl. Yes Pinky and I are still friends. We both have two boys and talk often like we just saw each other yesterday but we actually have never even seen each others children in person. One day. And Mindi. Girl, you were my side kick, my little sis, and I think about you all the time. Marlyn is now married and just had a baby. Congratulations girl. And Mili, who graduated two years ahead of us, lives here in Florida as well. We are both happily divorced and living the single life to the fullest. Now for teachers, they are the most signifigant people in our lives because we spend the majority of our day with them. Some don't realize how they can affect a childs life in a negative or a positive way but the one's who are positve are remembered forever. First my Mom, Sharron Shipe who is the best Mom and teacher in the world. She is still teaching and changing the lives of inner city kids. She taught at St. Josephs in Yokohama and at Sullivans in Yokosuka. Those kids who had her were very luck. I'll never forget Misty. She successfully changed that little girls life around in kindergarten when most people would have given up. Not only is she my Mom and my friend but she has been my best teacher. I also remember Ms. Simmons in 6th grade. My Mom and I were talking the other day about teachers who make a difference and how you never forget them and although Mr. Schmidt made the biggest impact, Ms. Simmons was the first one who came to mind. She was so positve with such a sweet spirit. Now for an amazing person, Mr. Schmidt. To this day I know how to spell a lot, I never take a stapler off of someone's desk with out asking first :-) and I'll never forget the time you got me back stage to interview the coreagrapher of My Fair Lady for my senior project. That was amazing. And by the way, I know you knew that I didn't show up for our final exams because I had gone to the Bobby Brown concert the night before but you allowed me to make them up anyway in order to graduate. Thanks! Carpe Diem! Last but never least, my friend who I think of all the time and w...Expand for more
