Shannon's Story
Life
After graduating, I left Knightstown for college and had quite a shock being on my own on such a big campus. But, I loved it and would do it all over again. Unfortunately, I wasn't prepared for the bills and left after two years. I started dating Mike Tompkins a week before I left Knightstown, and married him a year after coming back from college. I work at Keihin IPT, along with half our class, and have one daughter, Taylor. We are still in Knightstown, and she will be starting school in a year. So, I am enjoying my time with her now and excited to relive all my childhood experiences with her. Eventually, I will finish that degree but I have pretty high expectations after being at Purdue and haven't really decided on a school to finish at. If you know any good nursing programs let me know. Everyone take care and enjoy yourselves.
We got another little surprise on the way. We are having another girl, in August.

Well, I finally took th...Expand for more
e step. I am in the nursing program at Ivy Tech and going through clinicals now. Love it. I am disappointed that I couldn't go back to Purdue, but am glad to be doing it anyway. I will graduate in May 09 as an RN, and will go for my masters after I take a break and test the waters.
In the meantime, I quit my job to attend school. I am unemployed for the first time ever (talk about scary!), and have two girls.
August 2008 (update)
Make that 3 girls. We had another daughter on my birthday this year June 30, 2008. They are all beautiful of course. I am still in the nursing program at Ivy Tech starting my final year!! My oldest daughter Taylor is going into 2nd grade at Knightstown. Skylar is my three year old wild cat, and Parker is the new baby. Other than school, I stay at home and take care of my girls. My husband Mike is a supervisor in Carmel at a computer tech center. Things are going pretty good here. What about that class reunion? Anyone heard anything?
