I began my senior year a wife

I grew up in a very small town where everyone knew your name. I was very shy and did not like to be in the spot light. I managed to suffer through most of school. I met a guy and ended up pregnant when I was 17. I was in the 11th grade. We got married the next summer. I began my senior year a wife, and by Christmas I was a mother. Of course this didn’t work out. I was divorced when I was 18. Being stupid, I married again at 19. I was the mother of 3 by when I was 22 years old. I worked in restaurants when I was a young adult; usually as a manager. I decided to leave that line of work due to the fact that my husband was too insecure to handle me working in that atmosphere. I then went into sales. I found a job selling ads for a magazine. I worked my way up in that company until I was the circulation manager. I finally left my miserable 2nd husband, and married the love of my life. I am now a business owner, who works part time to make ends meet.
