: About Me

will warn you first, this is long and getting longer. I enjoy writing immensely and
sharing lots of information. I tend to get wordy.

My name is Melissa, but I usually go by Missie. I am 34 years old. I have a significant other, Eric, I have 5 children:
a son, four daughters, and expecting another in the Spring.

I decided to go to IBC for medical assisting and took my first quarter in my third
trimester with the twins, Fall of 2006, on campus in Fort Wayne. They were born two days after Christmas break started which was two days before Christmas Day. I did online courses for Winter and Spring quarters 2007 and took the summer off.

I have written articles about pregnancy and childbirth, which I have posted on the WWW. I have written on other freelance websites that work strictly for hire. The downside of writing for those is the lack of being able to write content that I enjoy, however, I find it to be very educational ans great practice for improving my technique. I find it is becoming fairly lucrative to stay and keep applying for jobs.

If you have an emotional hurt, that is also called pain. If you are stressed and tense, you can have pain in your muscles or a headache, which is also pain.
