I have done a number of things since HS. I lived on the East Coast for about 4 years working as a live-in nanny for a few families. I have lived in the Chicago area working for Ameritech in Residential Sales. I moved back to the area to be close to my parents. Currently, I am unemployed, taking care of my mother who has early stage Alzheimer's and my precious infant daughter, Halleigh.
I was pretty shy in HS. I remember attending the sporting events and being proud to be a Panther. I still follow our teams and try to attend games when possible. I plan to bring my daughter now as well :)
What did you think you were going to do after High School
After HS, I planned to attend college and get my degree. At the time, I was interested in Accounting, but that has since changed. I do plan to go back to school to get my degree still.
Which one of your friends was the best influence on you?
Brett Dempsey - I had a couple of classes with him Senior year and sat next to him - I always wanted to get good grades like him. I ended up on the Dean's list for the first time the Second Semester of Senior year. Thanks Brett!
In 10 years, I see myself the mother to a very precocious 10 year old girl, dreading the day she becomes a teenager. Hopefully still taking care of my mother and working in a good job to support my family.
