a friend(s). and i'd love to hear a story too if you wish to share! this is Jeramie, and she's from the Phillipines. she came to the U.S. about 4 years ago. she's here studying to be a nurse. she and i work together at the doctors' office, and i trained her when she first started working there. what's interesting is that Jec (her nickname) and i are such close friends even though i'm the age of her mother. where she's a very mature, responsible young adult, i'm a goofy middle-aged gal who still acts like a kid most of the time. i guess since neither one of us act our age that's why we don't feel the age difference? this picture was taken 3 years ago after the end of a grueling semester at the University of Louisville. We were both taking algebra that semester (and of course working full time), and me, Jec, and kemal were having a celebration lunch at the California Pizza Kitchen because Jec and i both got A's in our algebra classes!! YAY!! anyway, kemal and i keep hoping to find a day that we can do a photo shoot of Jec, but she works two jobs, and between her schedule and ours, we can never find a day to get together. she even has to work 8 hours on Christmas. :(
