My Story Part 1

When I was a month away from my 24th birthday, I found out something that changed my life forever. After four and a half years of collage, starting three different majors, and no degree, I dropped out of Humboldt State University. My father and I had to keep it a secret from my mother for my father would never hear the end of it. I dropped out to go to beauty school. Wait. Maybe I should go back even further.
As a child, it seems like I was always on some kind of antibiotics, asthma medication, or something. One might say that I was pretty healthy, but looking back on it now, I feel that I was not. How healthy can one be eatting condensed cream of mushroom soup tuna cassarole and hamburger helper? Yuk! For some reason, I knew in my spirit that that food could not be life giving. Maybe that's why I always complained about my mother's "cooking". But, then again, what kid doesn't? And, just like David Wolfe, I grew up on Lucky Charms and Flintstone Vitamins.
In college my health was not that great. It seemed I had a neverending bronchitis, and the summer before my twentyfirst birthday I had strep for four months. You know what that means. More antibiotics! I got so tired of taking antibiotics, I begged my dad to pay for a toncilectomy. You see at that time in my life I was studying classical voice training(that's another story, yet connected). Having a sore throat was not an option. Discouraged with my singing, and college in general, I dropped out and went to beauty school.
