My name is Jenny and I was born on October 28th, 1975. I lived in Pennsylvania until I was 17. The summer before my Senior year in High School I went to Army Basic Training at Ft. Leonardwood, MO. That year back was rough, I hated still being in school --such an attitude! After graduation (1994) I switched to Active Duty and I went to Ft Sam Houston, San Antonio, Tx. What a blast that was!!!!! I was in X-ray school there and did Phase 2 of my training in Washington DC at Walter Reed, that was in 95. After that I was stationed in Louisiana at Ft Polk, Leesville.

I had my son in November 1996 and left the Army in 97 (dumb move, I miss it). So I came back here in 97 and what a blur that has all been. First it sucks to move a 2 bedroom apt, back into my 1 bedroom at my parents house. I did the unemployement thing for 3 months then landed a sweet job at UPS. That was my favorite job ever. I loved it there. BUT After Christmas the hours dropped and a better paying job with more hours at the local Hospital opened up. This was JAN 1998.

At the same time I started college at Penn State's Du Bois Campus. My major back then was Pre-med. The job at DRMC sucked, there was more politics and back stabbing there than at any job I have ever had. In August I quit. I attended college thru the summer and fall of 98. That Christmas season I worked at the Calendar Kiosk for Walden Books. At that time I was kicking around an Anthropology Major AND of all my school choices I am most disappointed that I did not stick with that. Instead I switched to Speech Pathology and Audiology (Communication Sciences and Disorders --to be technical).

How are you doing? Are you keeping up?
This came about when my son was being Diagnosed with Autism and I got to see a few SLP's in action and liked what they did. I went to PSU's main campus in the Spring of 99. Then suddenly I realized how much cheaper it would be if I swiched to Clarion University. I could live at home and save money, and borrow less for tuition. (Little did I realize I was giving up a quality education --not to say all my Clarion Prof's have been bad --some have been very good. But I guess I am more research oriented, which is good for PSU). So I switched to Clarion. That summer I took time off and worked at Clearfield hospital --much nicer than DRMC. That job was just for the summer so that fall I worked for Subway in DuBois --OH MY GOD, that job was hilarious. I hope to write about one day. I had a crappy boss, rediculous co-workers and no desire to quit for a while, because I wanted to see just how awful it would get there. I did finally quit in Jan or Feb of 2000.

I also worked at Clearfield hospital again last year into this January (2002). I started Clarion the Fall of 99 and have been there ever since. Where if you noticed how much I move around, that fact my shock you. And it does shock me. I need to be moving along, if I am somewhere more than 2 years I start to lose my sanity --which is what is happening right now.

I only have to finish 1, 2 month distance ed class to finish my B.S. in Com Dis, but I gave up on that career and planed on law school. --After a year off, of course.

And that is the history, the top of this page has the update.
