My oldest son was born late. He was 91/2 months and he had meconium. He went immediately to ICU and while he was there when the nurse went to put in his IV she missed and punctured his brain. Because of this he had a lot of disabilities but has outgrown most of them. My youngest of two was just 15 and was in a auto accident on 4th of July.

My associates degree is in Criminal Justice, Wanting to work as a Probation Officer to teenagers and when I didn't want to return to school for that and with having no desire to be in the police force, I ended up in the Security Field.

Even the Park Manager that had gotten along with no one before me! So although I don
