Roberta Espinosa:  

I grew up in Baldwin Park, CA. Went to Elwin Elementary, St John the Baptist school for the 7th grade. My family then moved to Diamond Bar, CA. I attended Lorbeer Jr HS for the 8th grade. I attended Ganesha HS in Pomona CA.I remember feeling like a cat in a cage. My folks were very strict ; hence the defiance and impatience. My grades were excellent (nerd) so I left high school early by taking the calif. prof. exam. I ran the streets and partied ALOT!!! I attempted to settle down and marry 3 times; picked the wrong guy each time. I have 6 children 26,23,21,15,12,9; and 7 grandchildren. I managed to keep all my children with me as I have been a single parent 75% of the time. I worked a number of different jobs along the way - -electronics assembly, factory, warehouse, clerical, fast food, waitress, dental assistant, animal hospital, and oh yeah, I also danced naked on and off for 10 years in between all that ... I finally went back to college...Expand for more
