I’ve said it a million times before, I don't like being an adult!
Although I have always been a very outgoing, straight forward,
fun loving kind of person, I am learning how painful life can be
as an adult. I now find myself adapting to those old fuddy
duddies around me. I do not care so much for the adult, society
has forced me to become!
I am divorced after a 21-year marriage and have 2 beautiful,
rotten girls who are my whole world. They inspire and keep me
going every day and are my main reason for going back to school.
I have recently earned an Associate Degree in Gen Ed – Arts,
Certificate in Applied Science, a Bachelor’s in Sociology and a
minor in Criminal Justice.
I love to act silly with my kids like riding the shopping cart
across the parking lot, sing along and bounce to the tunes on my
car stereo, at times dye my hair funky colors and dance through
the mall with the kiddos, or more now a days that they are
getting older, just find new ways to embarrass them.
I have made it my mission to treasure every moment life offers.
It is my desire for them to see in me, someone they can be proud
to call mom; which has become my greatest challenge over the past
couple of years. I hope they learn from my struggles that
education is very important,
but nothing other than God, trumps family!
Honesty, integrity, compassion and dedication is required for
success. Above all, I hope they learn from me: to love like there
is no tomorrow, dream as if they own the world, hold out a
helping hand to others and with true girl power they can
accomplish anything.
