10 years

It has been ten yaers since I graduated. I moved from Ironton to Sullivan after graduation. i stayed with my brother David and his family for a while. I got a job at Wal-Mart in Sullivan. moved into my own apartment in January 2002. Finally in June 2002 I eneded up with Micheal Graddy. We moved in our own appartment after 4 months of being together. We had our first child in October of 2003. I became a stay at home mom. Then in August 2005 I had my second child by Mike. Finally I was able to get a job. I started out as a daycare worker. I went from job to job untill I finally realized that I wanted more then any old job that didn't pay well. I finished two years of college. My first year I studied to become an early childhood teacher. Later on, with a prayer and a message from God I realized I wanted to work with kids from the age of 12 to 15. So I decided to take classes to get my Associates Arts Degree to become an English teacher. I hope to start out as a subsatute or a Teachers" Aid. The work with junior high kids. Maybe become a professor at a grand college or university. I enjoy working with children. I just ant to be a great teacher that all the kids remember. I had a few wonderful teachers when I was in school. Some of them were Mrs. Brunk, Mrs. Glaskey, Mrs. Bowling, Mrs. Davis, Mr. Sept, Mr. Ammerlunkey, and plenty others. My teachers inspired me to do great things. I want to keep moving foward and I hope I'm atleast half as good as the teachers who taught me! Thanks for all you've done!
