  I will make this brief... I moved to Fontana with my young daughter (10mos.), lived there for 17 yrs. started college when my son started elementary school full-time. I obtained two AA's at Chaffey Community College and served on the student body, graduated from Cal State San Bernardino with my BA in English and have been teaching high school English for about 7 yrs. now. I live in the beautiful, small, college town Redlands.

Additional Comments:

I still am a BBW (Big Beautiful Woman) but now I am proud of who I am and what I look like. Back in high school I wasn't allowed to feel that way, not necessarily due to classmates cruelty, but mostly society in general. Now I go to Clubs were BBWs are the norm and have a great time dancing and meeting people. I don't drink nor smoke, so it is nice to have somewhere to go dance and socialize. (Not that drinking doesn't take place at these clubs, I just don't participate in that activity.) If anyone is interested in attending one of these clubs, just email me for the info.
