Studying - With Children!
When people think of starting over, a lot of different things come to mind. Starting over could be simply going back to the drawing board in a business venture, rewriting an English paper, or rearranging your life. Even rearranging your life can be from many different aspects. Alcoholics need to start over. Gamblers need to start over. Divorced people need to make a new start as well.

"Anybody can graduate above 13 classmates" he chimes with a cynical and annoying laugh. All of your self confidence is gone. Now you have two jobs that pay minimum wage.
Your emotions get in the way. You find yourself pondering the same questions. "Can I do it after all this time? Can I still type? I've been Mom and a wife for over nine years. What has changed since I was a self sufficient individual?"
Then it happens. You begin to come out of your shell. Instead of two minimum wage jobs, you land a really great job with benefits and you are home every night at 4:30 for the kids. You feel good about yourself.
"Hey Jackie! Have you lost weight? You really look great!" he says. I can’t help but blush.

After graduating high school, I went on to attend Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, FL, where I pursued a degree in pre-pharmacy while doing track and field. After being there and becoming homesick after 6 months, I decided to go back home (Atlanta, GA). I thought I was ready for the college life, but I just was not.

Purchasing my own home was a great accomplishment for me. I later got engaged and married that same year, 2008, to the love of my life at that time. In the year of 2009 I had a handsome baby boy whom I named Cardoza. My marriage began to get rocky and my career began to come to a stand still and boring. My husband at the time and I separated and my career led me to Florida. When I first came to Florida I was able to transfer my job as working as a retail pharmacy technician.
