Marina's Story

Life Married 25 years now, two boys, 21 and 19. One dog, Shih Tzu. Still working my home first but substitute so we can travel. God still leads my path. Still like tennis, knees don't though.. will get back to drawing and working out. Lost my mom in 2015. Still tough but moving forward taking better care of myself. School My favorite teacher was Mrs House my french teacher. Favorite classes were french and believe it or not woodshop where I cut my hand open doing a carving project and needed stitches. I still have the scar. College Got my BA in TV Production but that of course was not to be my path. Raising these boys and keeping my home is what I do and I do it well. College was great. Commuted daily so had no dorm life. So hence the 3.5 gpa. College was 4 of the best creative years up until I turned 52, I started drawing portraits. See them on facebook. marina b jacobs.

ft Penneys and went to work as executive secretary for a property Company. Stayed there for 5 years till second child was born in 99. Left for the most important job, Wife Mom and teacher. Military Moved to Dallas March 1988. Got a job in computer operations (went to school a year for that after college since it was so hard to break into unionized tv production). Soon after I got the job I decided I wanted some excitement and I sure got what I wanted. Joined the Army reserves in December thinking I could be a respiratory specialist. Went to boot camp and the now famous FT Dix. (There was a plan last month June 07 to assassinate soldiers) I was in the worst platoon in the company. But at least I was one of the oldest in the group (24) so I took all the pain and hard work in stride, and with lots of humor, then, Iraq invaded Kuwait. went off to Germany with the Medics. Stressful four months but did get to Paris, Switzerland and Austria. Had good friends to keep me sane while in Germany. After Desert Storm, change MOS to Supply and after my time was up in 96, I declined to re-enlist. Glad I did. Got married in 93 to Navy veteran. First child in 97.
