I would have to say that I felt it was meant to be that I come here to USM. Without going into "gory details" about events in my life these past 6 years, I will say I've been in a "bad place" in my head and heart. Damage had been done and scars abounded. In just less than two months I have seen gradual changes in my own thought processes and have felt more like my self than I have in many years. I owe a debt to George and Ginger I will never be able to repay! USMOM  |

I have changed so much.. I too have been here for five years.. so I first started coming here when I was 16 years old.. okay wow.. 16?! my goodness.. I am 21 now.. Seems so far away.. Let me see.. I survived through high school, was horribly depressed, conquored my depression, graduated from high school, went out in the working world, worked my butt off, went through many other trials. Met the love of my life right here on this very site, and we are set to be married in 9 days, September 17th in fact!! .. so .. I have grown so much .. its amazing looking back.  |

Well on the 11th of this month it is my 5 year anniversary... and for those of you that know me, I don't think there is one that can say I haven't changed!! LOL I went from almost completely unable to leave my home, to college to Nursing school... and I am well on my way to a fantastic future... I have change a lot of my views too, and become for sure more self assured, and feel more worthy to express my opinion!! (some of you know that well)... I have been truly blessed to be a part of USM and chalk a lot of my change up to the support I received here from friends I now call family!!  |

It's been almost five years for me too. I had just purchased my first computer when I found usm..lol. I had to have a computer because I had just started college, which I have now finished, at least until January when I will start working towards my second degree, hopefully. I finally got out of an absolutely horrible marriage. I have my own place and car, at least for now..lol. Um...lots of things have changed. Got a small part time job, and then lost it. Moved several times.  |

I was 13 I think when I joined...12 or 13...I turn 18 tomorrow. When I joined I lived in Houston with my mom and I was in junior high. Now I am in my senior year of high school. I live with my boyfriends family and I feel like I've progressed in my schooling because I used to just stop caring. I've also accomplished alot of goals I wanted. Ex: Senior Beta Club Inductee, High ACT score, Cheerleader  |

Next month I will be celebrating my 6th year here at USM. Im not here often but I pop in as much as I can. I was 13 or 14 when I first joined and boy have I changed. I am now 19(about the turn 20) and I have grown up alot. I used to be wild, and loud and now I more calm and relaxed. I went through practically my entire teen years here and I went through every phase that every teen goes through. At the moment I am a sophomore at the University of Texas at Austin...thats a long way from the 8th grade.... I've changed for the better throughout these and I couldnt ask for more. ~Sabe  |

My account was made on 6/28/2000, but I rarely used it until a little over a year later. The person I was then had no clue as to who she was. Over the last 5 years I have found myself and my life finally has a direction. I have changed in so many ways that I can't even begin to name them all. I was 19 when I joined, and I will be 25 next month.  |

The end of this month, it will be five years for me also. When I joined I had just found my way back to God again after some bad times. I've learned alot about things here on usm, made many friends. My grandkids have went from only four to soon to be seven and possible eight, we will know this week. When I came to usm, we were basically doing reclamation seed for seed companies, then was managers of a cafe until the people that had it ruined it with their attitudes. And now I work at big rock candy mountain, do the laundry during the day and night manager in the evenings. My husband had three spinal cord injuries so he is on workers comp and SSI now. However our funds are still great, plus we bought our own satilite company.  |

I have been here over four years and when I first found USM I was a bored stay at home Mom..I weighed over 200 pounds, and had no ambition or motivation. I was actually kind of in a depression. Since then I have worked in a lumber mill, a call center and now I am a supervisor at a huge billing center. I weigh alot less than I did, and I lead a more fulfilled life. I also have a confidence in myself that was never there before. I contribute at least a small part of that to USM.  |

Yes...I am mean and evil now. j/k I am much less likely to judge others, and I feel that I have gained a wider acceptance. Other than that....nothing. I have only been here for a year. Still married, still 2 kids, same home, same job.  |
