This was my first forum of online communications. ICQ was an free "download-able" computer software from the world wide web that connect something "computery" lol to your friends something "computery" thing  so we all could instant message each other. This was super new age and fast tech! I remember the day my brother and I had to explain how this was possible to our dad 👨.  Our mom on the other hand was why we had a computer she loved Tron stuff! We had a blend of parents! Lol ]]> 2023-10-18 23:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanyhosey/863xhjv9rp4eywbu/wish/2753488061 brittanyhosey https://padlet.com/brittanyhosey/863xhjv9rp4eywbu/wish/2753488251 My school career has been interesting and longer then most! I started school in early 90s and graduated in 2004 consistently with the same people. These were some of the best days of my life so far. Even though they were emotional at times, I also have a lot of amazing memories and experiences that have help shape me. I now support my kids in the journey. These years were so influential in my life. I am now seeking to graduate college as a mature student in 2024. These few years have offered me so much structure, and discipline and a new educated understanding of the world and myself. ]]> 2023-10-18 23:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanyhosey/863xhjv9rp4eywbu/wish/2753488251 brittanyhosey https://padlet.com/brittanyhosey/863xhjv9rp4eywbu/wish/2753488452 I have always been super social from the start of my Kindergarten years till I graduated Highschool. Always on all the sports teams and hanging out with friends in our down times. Unfortunately as we got older most relationships faded ( if it was not for Facebook I believe we might all not have "friends" lol) I believe I had a normal successful social life as a child and teenager but as I have hit my 20's to late 30's my social life has faded. Until 2020 I met this Beautiful soul that I am lucky enough to call my best friend. John Barton he has been the most authentic peer I have ever met
he supports me and encourages me. He does not expect anything in return other then me to be happy. He is so cool, calm and collective. He inspires me to be a better me. So although I do not have the Numbers most people may have of friends I have a super authentic one! ]]> 2023-10-18 23:04:26 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanyhosey/863xhjv9rp4eywbu/wish/2753488452 brittanyhosey https://padlet.com/brittanyhosey/863xhjv9rp4eywbu/wish/2753488641 I started working at the age 11 doing summer gigs at my moms beauty shop counting inventory that made me have a love for retail, I also learned how to commute, and what workplaces felt like. When I became of age I started working at small restaurants in the kitchen as I really aspired to become a chef/ restaurant owner. When I graduated highschool I was unable to get financial support to go to school so I went to work and fortunately I found a job in Concord,ON that needed a receptionist for a company that sold designer Chef clothing. I was with them for 4 years and ended my term as a corporate sales manager. Employment has offered me a lot of structure, imagination, confidence, reality checks and how to be independent. ]]> 2023-10-18 23:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanyhosey/863xhjv9rp4eywbu/wish/2753488641 brittanyhosey https://padlet.com/brittanyhosey/863xhjv9rp4eywbu/wish/2753500591 I grew up in a nucleur family with a brother who was 20 months older than me! So we were close but had a rivalry for some odd reason. I had an awesome childhood my parents both worked. So we hung out at our gram and pops a lot and would see our 2 cousins who were the boys and play and have sleep overs. My mom a creative would make our Halloween costumes big and elaborate the kids and staff at our school would ask in advance what we were being it was a "thing". Being in my family taught me a lot of things that were good and bad and have shaped me to confidently raise my 3 babies  plus support my partner with raising his 3. I believe because of my family I am capable and secure raising and matriarching my own. ]]> 2023-10-18 23:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanyhosey/863xhjv9rp4eywbu/wish/2753500591 brittanyhosey https://padlet.com/brittanyhosey/863xhjv9rp4eywbu/wish/2755936268 2023-10-20 08:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanyhosey/863xhjv9rp4eywbu/wish/2755936268 brittanyhosey https://padlet.com/brittanyhosey/863xhjv9rp4eywbu/wish/2755942271 This show was the rage when I was a pre-teen ....in our girl group we would discuss which brother we would marry.
