Feelings That Inspire

I was raised in a small New England town in Massachusetts, and grew up in a family with two older brothers and two younger sisters. Being sent to a Catholic school taught me a very rigid lifestyle. From the time I was young I have enjoyed reading and writing as an everyday part of my life. I read with much imagination and enthusiasm. On becoming a young adult, I married, but like most young people today the marriage didnat work out. I gave birth to my first son without his father being present. While my son was a baby I went to college, there becoming an electro-mechanical engineer. I found a job in drafting. I worked my way up, learning more about engineering as I went, never leaving my desire for reading and writing. I raised my son. When he was eight years old, I met a mechanical design engineer. We married and my new husband adopted my son; later we gave birth to two more children. My husband and I have been married for twenty years now.
