Michelle's Story
I can't believe it has been so long... yes I can actually. I'm not sure how anyone saw me. Oh well. I think opinions varied wildly because I was secretly shy. I also had an affection for my own unique style and hanging out with people from other schools and college kids. I bet you didn't know I got a 32 on the ACT. Most people wouldn't have expected that. I learned a lot of really valuable things at Dublin High School and ended up being really glad for all of it. I didn't really get it then but looking back, it was a good school.
Since graduating from Dublin I have had two wonderful kids who are both challenging and amazing. I am still friends with a few people from back in the day. I graduated from college with honors and work as a paralegal at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. I was married but that didn't work. I am officially a survivor of domestic violence and really glad to be divorced. It took us three years to get divorced after I finally left him. I think his defining quote is "I don't see the point in being nice." That much was clear! But we get along better now that we don't have to spend time around ea...Expand for more
ch other. I am currently in a good place in my life and glad to be here.
In the future I am looking forward to seeing my kids graduate (high school and college), writing, going to Greece with Julie, and doing more volunteer work. I've always been really anti-drug (surprise!) and I want to do some work in that area as well as help others going through domestic violence. I think too many women get trapped by the stereo types about being dumb and weak. I was too stubborn to admit I needed help for a long time. I knew I was strong enough to deal with it so I figured I just wasn't doing something right. And I really believe that when you go to church and you get married, that is forever. I didn't leave until the preacher who married me told me it was okay. I had one since then tell me it wasn't but he can't hold a candle to Dr. Redding so I don't care. Anyway, I want to help people like me who are neither stupid nor weak realize that sometimes, you have to give up because the problem is not actually yours to fix. No matter how smart or strong you are, you can't change another person.
Guess I got a lot of story left to live!
