Personal
I am 42 years old. I am a single father of two boys which I raised as best I could. I soon found that I was not able to stay at any job in which I could also take care of my kids. I decided to become my own boss so that I could be there when my children needed me, however it did require more work on my part, but I did what I had to for my family. My children are now 18 and 20 and both have become adults the I respect very much.
I have educated myself as an adult. It has been a dream of mine to do become educated and look at life differently along with the new opportunities it offers. I am very confident about getting back into the work force in a different capacity than I have experienced before. My plan is to continue to educate myself while working at a job that educates me.
I like country music. I do not drink alcohol or smoke however, I don't care if someone else does. I enjoy my time with my family which I found has become almost non-existent since the boys grew up.
I am a strongly independent person when at home now, I enjoy spending time with my dogs and being out in nature.
