A Day as Sheila!

       We all have different backgrounds and stories, experiences we have that define who we are. We are in control of our own life, and future. In 1963 one of God's greatest creations entered into this world. Some call her Sheila, but I call her mom. As a child she moved many times. She went to four different middle schools! In junior high and high school she was quite reckless and carefree. Believe it or not, some say she was even boy crazy! Her mom was always falling in and out of love, and was married half a dozen times. She had three half-brothers and three half-sisters. At nine years old her oldest brother drown. It was a very hard time for her and her family, and she has never experienced such sadness. In high school she was quite the athlete. She participated in track, basketball, cheer leading, and gymnastics her favorite sport of all. Her best friends were Valerie Dunham, and Kim Ruckman because they did a lot of activities that teenagers do today. In the eighth grade she met, and fell in love with my father. Much like me her favorite school subject was English. Her biggest regret is college. The economy when she grew up was quite stable and rapidly growing, so she didn’t feel that college was very important. My mom’s life was a little crazy growing up, no different from most teenagers.
