Sandra Torquato:  

ILloved art, was shy, overweight and slightly introverted. I lost over 100 pounds in 12th grade. As soon as I graduated, I was sent to California where I met my husband, Carmen Mario Torquato Jr. and married in a matter of 7 weeks. I have had 6 children, 4 boys then 2 girls. I have lost 100 pounds 5 times....still have'nt lost the weight after my last daughter (she's 11 now) ha ha ha. I have found out that the only things important in life...to be happy with yourself, to stand for what is right, to raise up your kids knowing right from wrong and to reap the rewards of being a grandparent. I worked as a waitress for Howard Johnsons and Dennys and Michael J's, as well as several other establishments over the years. I became bilingual (Spanish)-a must out here in Southern California. All 4 of my sons have graduatedd(bilingual) and working as computer drafters...Expand for more
