There was nothing left for me back in California. Yes, I miss the friends that I had but I had more negative memories then positive memories about the state and that’s not good. I left a month ago and each day I wake up and feel better when I look out the window. I’m experiencing an actual autumn. I cannot wait for the rest of the seasons. Maybe I was always an East Coast girl at heart <3.

How I did it: I purchased the Gold Box collection when it was made available and watched the whole series back to back, eagerly awaiting each episode as they came on. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I compared several different schools before making my decision. I ended up staying in my own area and attending a then medical college (which has since become a university) and took the certificate program. Read how I did it…
How I did it: After months of thinking and wondering, I finally decided to do what I wanted to do and enroll myself in culinary arts at a local college. I'm not done, I still have 6 months. But I'm loving every second I spend in class. Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
I enrolled in the culinary arts program at AVMC (soon changing to UAV) in December of 08. I’m currently one module down and am finishing my second. I am taking the certificate program and will be done in July of 09. I’m enjoying it immensely. This is my dream and I am so happy to be living it.
is so much more freeing than I ever thought. I think that I was too afraid before to learn exactly what type of person that I am. For years I was terrified that my father had tainted me. Now I know that I’m nothing like my father. I’m my own person and I’m pretty damn awesome lol. I’m still learning more. And each time I learn something I like myself even more. I don’t know why it’s taken so long to do this, but no matter how long it takes, this is worth doing.
