What type of jobs/places have you worked over the years?
VMV Enterprises for approximately 15 years.
When VMV started laying off, I knew I would probably be in the next rounds of cuts so I began to pray about how I would support my children, since I was divorced by this time.
I felt strongly led to return to college and get a teaching degree, which was NOT something I found overly appealing. I wasn't sure I could even pass a college class at that time - 1999 - but I took one class and did well. Took another, and another, and by the time I was laid off from VMV in September, 2001, I knew I could finish my degree. I began full-time at MSU in January, 2002. Completed my degree there. Got my dream job at Lone Oak Middle. Completed my Master's degree.
