Intellistudent of the Week, 2-4-08

My life is pretty hectic right now, to start out with though I was born and raised in Wisconsin. I grew up in a small town with about 500 people that resided there.

I moved out to Utah in 2003 to get out of the small town I was in and open more oppourtunities for myself and the family that I wanted to have in the future.

I worked for Wal-mart for the first three years that I was out here and didn't really do anything with my life I was pretty much like stagnant water waiting to be drained out of the nasty place I was hanging out lol!

After my stint at Wal-mart, I worked at a girls home for kids that are out of control. I loved the job that I was doing but had to move closer to home because of the price of gas and the stress that was involved with the job.

I was then hired as a Civilian Army Recruiter, which I had applied for because of seeing all of the positive benefits that the Army had on the people around me that were joining.

At the time I was unable to join because I found out in training that I was pregnant with my beautiful daughter (that was a big shock since my husband and I were planning on waiting until after we got out of school to have children) . I worked with the Sargents for a year and loved working with them every day. But there was one problem with that job - being a new mom and working twelve to fourteen hours a day was hard on the family life.

I decided to go back to school and get my pre-med degree which I just started this year and being 25 and going back to school I have decided that I just need to plow through like my husband so that we can create the life that we're always talking about.

I look forward to finishing my degree because all of my life I have either been helping people figure out what they want to do or working in the medical profession, which seems to fit better then any job I've ever had.

After I graduate I plan on enlisting in the Army and going where I'm needed which is scary but kinda exciting at the same time. Things are always on a steady upbeat around my house between my husband and my daughter there is never a dull moment in my life, even with all of the surprises that have happened in my life I wouldn't trade it for the world! .
