Comments:

When I graduated I went to NWJC for 2 1/2 years. I got my associated degree. I worked at Baddour Memorial Center for about 3 years. This job taught me so much about dealing with people and accepting people as they are. I also worked part time at a sign company in Memphis. After moving on from those jobs I went to Goldsmiths in Memphis, I stayed there for 3 years and learned so much about arts. I started in the printing field after Goldsmiths. W.A. Kreager in Senatobia is where that career first started. I was a pasteup artist then a stripper. I hated working nights so I found a day time job at Wimmer Cookbooks. I have gotten married, had a son and gone through many of lifes ups and downs while working there. I have been there 22 years and have enjoyed every single day of it. They are like family to me. My husband has been there 28 years. I work designing cookbooks and he is an estimator. My most famous cookbook is "Crazy Sista Cookin" by Lucy Buffett (Jimmy Buffetts sister) She owns a restaurant in Gulf Shores, AL and she treated me and my family to lunch when we visited there. Over the past 3 years I joined Weight Watchers and lost over 100 pounds. I have dedicated my life to changing my eating habits and trying to keep my family more healthy. I walk 3 to 4 miles each day. Drink plenty of water and plan my meals. I love life right now. Its been good to me so far.

School Story:

School was a wonderful time in my life. I had so many friends.

I got caught skipping school one day by Mr. Taylor. I had been over to my boyfriends house and he was bringing me back. Mr. Taylor walked out just as we were pulling up in the parking lot. He told me if he caught me doing that again he would call my parents. Well, I sure didn't want to take that chance. They would have grounded me for a whole summer!

My favorite teachers were many. I enjoyed everyone.
