About Me

..
This profile was edited with Thomas' Myspace Editor V3.2b

I'm the lead CNA at Loyalton of Rockford, an assised living facilty, on the Alzheimer's/Special Care Unit. I've been there alittle over 2 years and love my residents and what I do. I am also the Artistic Director of Stagebound Academy, the dance studio I own with my Mom. We just finished our 6th year and recently moved into a new location. Hopefully this move will offer us more opportunity to grow and succeed. In addition to that, I'm still in school, trying to plug ahead towards my nursing degree. I may end up in school until I'm 40 but I WILL finish. I hope to always have my studio as a supplemental/hobby job but plan on nursing being my main career.
In general, I love movies and music. I love being with my friends and hanging out, going out to eat, whatever comes along. I'm pretty easy going. I am extremely close with my family and value them greatly. I also have a boyfriend who I've been with for a little over 3 years now. I'm a goof when I want to be. Serious when I need to be and ridiculously professional (or so I'm told). I'm outgoing AND shy (depending on the people and situation). I try very hard to always be real. I stand up for what I think is right and have no problem saying what I think is wrong. Especially when it comes to my job and my residents. Anything else you want to know, just ask.

I'd like to meet:

Well let's see, considering basically the only people I'll approve on here are people I already know in real life...I guess I don't want to meet anyone. I already know all the coolest people!

Music:

I love music. Mostly anything from Rock, Pop, and now Country....which I swore I always hated, and then my boyfriend came along and made me well rounded :) I also enjoy Celtic music and 30s/40s Swing and Big Band. Some top faves: Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Prince, Britney Spears, Rascal Flatts, Enya, Guns N'Roses, Michael Jackson, Oasis, and Radiohead. I'm pretty open to music.

Heroes:

Real life heroes:Daddy- for the way he put my mom and I first, always. How his life was lived for his family and to the fullest. For his captivating personality and endless sense of humor. For his wisdom, strength, and faith. How he had a light that was so bright and how everyone he met was drawn to him. And how even in death, he's my Mom and my strength to carry on. Grandma- for her courageous battle with cancer. For always having high spirits even though she couldn't see, couldn't hear well, and could barely walk anymore. And for being one of the most loving, welcoming, and giving person I've ever experienced.Grandpa- For being the other most loving, welcoming, and giving person I've ever met. For doing anything for his family. For the tears he shed for others pain. For bravely facing his own pain for so many years. How he never waivered in his beliefs and never backed down for what he thourht was right. Mom- for no matter how hard things have been, and how close she may have come, time and time again, to completely falling apart, she's somehow continued on. Even what she doesn't think she can't, she somehow has. Maybe we're each other's hero.
