About Me!

My name is Melanie Leigh Garron. I am 19 years old. I live in Semmes, Alabama and have been a resident there for about fifteen years. Before Semmes I lived in Tuscaloosa, Alabama with my mother and father. I am half Canadian so many of my family members live really far away. We spend every summer traveling to many family reunions, so we keep in touch with almost everyone in the gigantic Garron family. I have two sisters and two brothers. My oldest brother was killed in September due to a drinking and driving accident. This hit our family really hard. We have all pulled together to try and stay strong through these hard times.
My life pretty much consists of work and school. I am currently a full time student and a full time employee. I am the Financial Secretary at West Mobile Baptist Child Development Center. I have been working at the CDC for five years and have enjoyed every minute of it. I love children and I feel that we touch so many lives everyday. The CDC is a ministry of West Mobile Baptist Church. We are so thankful that the church provided us with a place for the center. The best thing about work is the people; everyone there has such a great spirit, so I have to say going to work is a breath of fresh air. If you are interested in learning more about where I work you can visit the website for the church which is http://www.westmobilebaptist.org. Once you get to the website go to the Child Development and you can click on my e-mail if you have any questions.
I am currently enrolled at the University of South Alabama. I have been attending for two years and I am now a sophomore. It took a lot for me to go to college, because I had many problems getting financial aid and I was almost ready to give up. I kept my head held high and finally got in. My major here at South is Elementary Education. I am very excited about making teaching my career because as I have said before I love children. Many people try to discourage me about teaching because of the economy today but I do not let them get to me. I feel that if God put the desire in my heart to teach then he will make a way for it to happen.
In my spare time, which is not much, I spend time with friends and family as much as possible. I am also addicted to my cell phone and could probably text message with my eyes closed, so honestly I would say that is my favorite hobby. I spend a lot of time on http://www.facebook.com to keep in touch with all my friends and family. When you go to the website you may search for me using my first and last name. Feel free to stop by add me as a friend. I am always looking for new people to talk to.
