Mandella Pigri

i used to do various jobs in the auto insurance industry. i made pretty good money, and got pretty well burnt out. i gradually became aware that i wasn't going to make it in a corporate environment, so i quit and decided to go back to grad school to get a masters in english education. i did that last year, and now this year, i have taken my first teaching job as a 7th grade Language Arts teacher. also, i hang out with my husband, because he works from home. i've got a pretty lucky and low key life. and now it's even luckier-- i just had my first child, a boy, Dean Tucker Chow. he was born on March 23, 2008.now i have to reassess my bio.oh, and i use myspace to keep up with bands and dates and stuff, but my blog is and will always be on lj. that's right- i'm old school.
