The Story:
I was born in Norcross Ga, on August 22nd. My mother and father lived in Atlanta for about 4 years after I was born. We moved to VA then after 2 years they divorced. Then mu mother and I moved to Pensacola where I spent most of my childhood. During my childhood I traveled a lot and became a
Junior Ranger for many of the National Parks in the US. My mother and I kept to our selfs a lot.
While I was growing up my mother was in school. When she went to class I often spent the time in the universities tech lab, where I developed my love for web and graphic design. I had my first website on geocites when I was 12 years old. I started graphic designing on free trails of Paint Shop Pro I would download on different computers in the lab. When I was 13 I spent so much time at the comp lab I started learning about computers and would work with the other college techs to help students. At the age of 14 there was no problem the students had I couldn't fix.
At 15 I moved to Atlanta to live with my father. My dad and I had never spent a lot of time together so I lived with him for about 2 years on and off. Living at friends house part of the time. The beginning of my sophomore year I developed strange medical problems causing me to miss substantial time from school. After I was told I was going to have to repeat another grade we chose a private school called
The Ben Franklin Academy.
BFA was THE BEST thing to happen to me. The teachers at the school provided the support I needed to complete my school on time (after being held back about 2 years.) BFA was a work study school, meaning you would goto school for 3 hours then work for 3 hours. I had no transportation so I often stayed and volunteered to help our three house cats at the school. On an average day I would get to school around 5am and walk home around 5pm, unless I happened to catch a ride.
After high school I moved to Virginia to attend college. This was a FAILED attempt. Literally. I worked 2 jobs, and often 3 jobs the entire time. I failed every class and got a C in Acting.
I soon moved back to Atlanta and attened a school for Nurses Aid. I graduated on time in the top spot of my class. I worked with a parapalegic at the Shephard Center in downtown Atlanta. I soon relized that Nursing was not for me.
