I was trained as a Data Entry Operator and it was fun work until my supervisor told me that I could not work through my break time. She (Gwen Golden) said that by law, I must be away from my work area.

That was the beginning of taking the fun out of working, trying to adhere to the law. But I adjusted; because I found that the law was for both the employer and the employee.

During my employment with Blue Cross/Blue Shield, my grand father passed away. My friends and co-workers gave me a beautiful card with donations, which was personally delivered, to my apartment by my supervisor, Ms. Golden.

It took me a few years to recover from the devastating loss and I became a stay-at-home Mom to prevent my son from becoming a latchkey kid until he became a semi-responsible teenager.
