Title: The portrait of an American Adult: My life story
Post by: Trauma-san on September 05, 2002, 07:47:55 PM
I've been thinking, none of us know each other, REALLY, so I thought i'd make this post, open to replies, about life (serious topic).  I'll use myself as an example, to show how different people live their lives, and who I am.  If anybody wants to reply with their life, go ahead, I think it'll be interesting.

Age: 23
Race: White
Birthplace: Charleston, West Virginia.  Moved to California as an infant, lived there until I was 5.  Moved back to West Virginia at 5. Moved to Charlotte, NC at age 11.
Education: Preschool-2nd grade, Fresno county schools, California \
4th-7th grade, Katawba county Schools, West Virginia \
8th - 12th grade, Mecklenburg County Schools, North Carolina
Associates Degree in A.A. - Central Piedmont Community College, Charlotte, NC
B.A. Psychology - University of North Carolina @ Charlotte
Work History: I began work at a grocery store as a bagger, was promoted to cashier, then customer service manager, then bookeeper.  Worked in all areas of the store.
Left there, went to a limousine company, worked as Driver's manager.  Left there, went to Painting company, Sales Representative.  
Family:
Father: Deceased.  Died of a heart attack last year
Mother: Homeless most of her life, I gave her a place to stay when my father passed away.  Soon after, she was diagnosed with Colon cancer... after 2 surgeries, she's made a full recovery.

No other family to speak of

That's about all I can think of right now.  If anybody has any personal questions to ask, ask me, I wanna be alive online, right now we're all dead.

A litte History:

When I was born we lived in Surrey BC.  in an area called "rat flats", my parents used to have to go to food banks to feed our family.  We had holes in the walls of our house.  When I was about 3 we moved into the basment of our Grandparents house.  My dad was constantly gettin laid off, so he had to work odd jobs, building houses and furniture.  When I was about 5 we moved into a dumpy house in Maple Ridge BC.  We had about 9 acres of land.  The house was a dump.  But it was cheap.  It was a great house to grow up in because of the land.  After about 2 years of living there, my dad and another guy started a business because they were tired of gettin laid off.  It was rough times.  We had no money.  I was in school wearing torn clothes, everyday.  But after a few years of living like that.  My dad business started to really take off.  It ended up grossing over $1,000,000.00 in a year.  But his partner started to become stupid and wanted to spend money in places it wasn't needed.  So my dad sold his share of the business to his partner and we moved to port moody, and my dad started his own business a few years ago.  We now live in a $400,000.00 in a really good neighbourhood (kinda looks like the one in Next Friday in Ranch Coucamonga) and my parents can finally drive nice cars.  It's still hard sometimes with the business, but it's a lot less stressfull.  So as you can see, my family worked their asses off to get what we have.  It really makes me appreciate things a lot.

Now you Know Me  ;D

Sucks about your girl, man.  Good luck with that.  Tell your dad to start stealing like 1 computer part a day, then i'll pay him to put it together, lol.  All he has to do is smuggle them out slowwwwwwwwwly.  I've got a neighbor across the street keeps calling because I got all my cars in the driveway (we have 7 cars here).  I know how that feels... he threatened my brother, 14, so my mom had him arrested, and sued him in small claims for 25,000 for pain and suffering, LOL.

A litte History:

When I was born we lived in Surrey BC.  in an area called "rat flats", my parents used to have to go to food banks to feed our family.  We had holes in the walls of our house.  When I was about 3 we moved into the basment of our Grandparents house.  My dad was constantly gettin laid off, so he had to work odd jobs, building houses and furniture.  When I was about 5 we moved into a dumpy house in Maple Ridge BC.  We had about 9 acres of land.  The house was a dump.  But it was cheap.  It was a great house to grow up in because of the land.  After about 2 years of living there, my dad and another guy started a business because they were tired of gettin laid off.  It was rough times.  We had no money.  I was in school wearing torn clothes, everyday.  But after a few years of living like that.  My dad business started to really take off.  It ended up grossing over $1,000,000.00 in a year.  But his partner started to become stupid and wanted to spend money in places it wasn't needed.  So my dad sold his share of the business to his partner and we moved to port moody, and my dad started his own business a few years ago.  We now live in a $400,000.00 in a really good neighbourhood (kinda looks like the one in Next Friday in Ranch Coucamonga) and my parents can finally drive nice cars.  It's still hard sometimes with the business, but it's a lot less stressfull.  So as you can see, my family worked their asses off to get what we have.  It really makes me appreciate things a lot.

Now you Know Me  ;D


NICE!!! I love hearin' success stories.  I want to buy land, too, I want my house to have at least 5 acres.  Why was it cool growing up like that? just curious, did you have many friends, since you weren't in a neighborhood? I'm worried about all that because I'm gonna have kids, and want land too.  I'm glad you don't take your good fortune for granted, too.

Yeah I had tons of friends, i wasn't in a neightbourhood, but i was only 10 minutes out of town.  It's cool to have land, because you can just go outside and play and run around.  Oh and it's really a good idea to buy land.  It's the easiest way to make money.  9 out of 10 millionaires got their start buying real estate.  

And if you do have kids and have land outside of town.  Make sure you don't just keep your kids out in the country all their lives.  They'll turn into redneck hicks.  Seriously.  We lived 40 minutes outside of Downtown Vancouver and i knew people who had never been there.  It's good to have a healthy balance of city and country imo.

Man, you were abducted almost?  Interemesting, vey vey interemesting.  Have you been back to Memphis to visit Graceland? LOL That's the first place I'd head.  


Yeah Graceland is usually the first place I head to when I go back to Memphis to visit family.

And my babysitter tried to abduct me one day. She was a family friend for years so no one understood why she would try to. If it wasn't for one of my neighbors stopping her I may not have been here today.
