Patricia Norvell Rowe

MARRIED HAD A BABY AND DIVORCED ALL WITHIN ONE YEAR.
WENT TO WORK DOING BOOKKEEPING. GOT MY DRIVERS LICENSE AT 20.
FINALLY MADE IT TO 21, AND DECIDED TO SOW SOME WILD OATS. THAT DIDN'T LAST LONG, I FOUND OUT I WAS NOT A PARTY ANIMAL. IT WAS TO HARD TAKING CARE OF A CHILD AND GETTING UP FOR WORK.
MOVED TO RENO FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.
MOVED BACK TO SAN LEANDRO AND MET MY HUSBAND.
GOT MARRIED, HAD TWO MORE KIDS AND GOT A DOG.
MOVED TO OHIO, STAYED HOME WITH KIDS FOR ABOUT 8 YEARS. FINALLY GOT TO TAKE SOME COLLEGE CLASSES.
MOVED BACK TO CALIFORNIA FOR 3 1/2 YEARS, RIVERSIDE, CA WAS A HELL HOLE. EVERY MORNING I WOULD GET UP EARLY AND PAINT OVER THE GRAFETTI ON OUR WALL. MOVED BACK TO OHIO. STILL WORKING FOR THE SAME COMPANY DOING ACCOUNTING FOR PAST 15 YEARS. NOTHING TOO THRILLING.
I WAS A MTV JUNKIE. STILL CAN'T DANCE. BUT I DO DANCE WITH MY GRANDSONS BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE HOW BAD I DANCE. EVERYTHING IS, YOU CAN DO IT GRANDMA.

I WILL APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR MY VICTIMS AT JOHN MUIR THAT I AND MY FRIENDS POKED IN THE BUTT WITH A STRAIGHT PIN. YOU WERE PICKED AT RANDOM.
I REMEMBER ALMOST GETTING CAUGHT SMOKING IN THE BATHROOM BY MRS. CAMP. UNFORTUNATELY MY FRIEND BONNIE WAS HOLDING THE CIGARETTE SO SHE GOT SUSPENDED.

GETTING A FIRST KISS FROM SOMEONE SPECIAL IN THE CAFETERIA AFTER SCHOOL. GETTING GROUNDED FOR A MONTH FOR COMING HOME LATE THE SAME DAY. 45 YEARS LATER I CAN STILL SAY HE WAS WORTH IT. MY SOMEONE SPECIAL WAS MY FIRST LOVE AND MY FIRST HEARTBREAK.

I STAYED EXTREMLY PISSED AT MY MOTHER FOR MOST OF THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. I DID GET INTO A FIGHT AT SCHOOL. BOY WAS THAT DUMB. MY FRIENDS WERE FROM ALL WALKS.
I LIKED THE HAMBURGERS DROWNED WITH MUSTARD. WAS THAT REAL MEAT?!?
I REMEMBER GETTING MY ARMS CAUGHT IN THE TRAMPOLINE FRAME. THE TEACHER HAD TO HELP ME GET THEM OUT. HOW EMBARRASSING. SOME OF THE BOYS TRIED TO LOOK IN THE WINDOWS OF THE GIRLS LOCKER ROOM. ANY ONE WANT TO CONFESS??
