I've always put myself 110% into everything I do. In the 13 years that I worked for the Post Office I worked my way from letter carrier up to assistant Post Master before I left to raise my family. Then got involved with the PTA in the school my child attended and was approached by the Principal "You are here all the time you might as well work here" so I took a few more classes in college and worked there with special needs children for another 13 years till retiring with my husband. While working there also worked my way up the ladder in the PTA, covering different positions in all the schools my children attended, anywhere from 1 VP to another all the way to council president working directly with the superintendent of our district. Rest a shored I will also put 110% into your home ownership plans as well.
