Scott Ross:  

Life Well after the 8th grade at jefferson middle school, I applied to transfer from douglass to grant which i am not sure waht happened with that but the end result was that i never went to "high school" so in 1991 i went off to Job Corps... which was ok but even though i tested out of education in exactly 4 days they wouldn't let me complete to get my high school diploma ( they were acreddited as BOTH a high school AND a junio college) so i finally just quit thinking who needs it! Came back to the OKC area rebellious against the world and worked jobs that in some cases would only last a month or 2...Finally at the age of 19 my older sister drags me down to her house in florida which is where i guess i finally grew up. I lived in florida for about a year but oklahoma was home to me so i hopped on a greyhound in the middle of the night and headed home. still I made a few mistakes over the next few years but in the end i got my head on straight. I found religion and found out that that wild imagination that i had when i was younger could be put to a PRACTICAL use so now every week i write an e-zine called "simply romantic" where i give advice on relationships and a weekly tip on how to be more romantic. I married in 2001 but divorced in 2003... no children which although i adore kids i am glad that i didn't have any in the marriage as that would have made it almost impossible for me to walk away... School What can i say about school? I hated it! but looking back i realize that it was just one of the many trials we face in this journey we call life. there were several people from my school days that left a LASTING impact on my life... too many to name but i hope one to find everyone of them if nothing else just to say "thank you" you know i used to try to write songs to impress my female classmates ( yeah you guessed right i was dateless in school) but sitting in church one day waiting for the service to begin... I wrote this verse: Looking back from were I stand tonight I Wouldn't change a thing about my life. Wrong turnes I had to take back in those crazy years. Could not have been mistakes if they have brought me here. Cuz all my roads have led me to this night, dear lord I share with you and though the road was never smooth, life has made me someone who.. gives up his will to follow you. and i think what i was REALLY saying was that everything that we have ever done in the past... everyone person who has come and gone from our lives........ they all have played a role in leading us to be who we are today.... it was only when i realized that that i actually began to like who i am.... some of you may remember me as just a lost soul who could never simply be himself.... you are those EXACT people i want to say thank you too... the things that you've all done and said to me has driven me to become the man i am today. I could never have done this on my own. College treasure lake Job corps as it was called then! or as we called it the " treasure lake federal penetientary" was not really a college more of a VO-TECH ...Expand for more
