User:Patrice Marie

My given name was Calea-Pattrice Jolie Pappas. It was changed to just Patrice Marie Walker after my adoptive mother married. The circumstances of my birth, mother and father's names are not known at this time. Their absence is believed to be a product of evolution, social issues and war. It has become apparent that my name became gender neutral to for economic advancement, to avoid further social conflict, as related to the history of my family. It is not for certain if I am a direct descendant of the legendary, Cleo-Patra, however there are, intentional or unintentional, aspects of our lives which are similar in nature. It is well known that those in the theatrical community like the further exploitation and dramatization of historical events for increased revenue, and entertainment purposes.

I was raised in the city of Chicago, Illinois. My adoptive mother remarried and moved in to the suburbs where we lived until I married becoming, Patrice Marie Pugh. Being married is a learning experience that I have come to appreciate. Teaming, customer service, relationship building, and management are skills learned in theory and forced to practice continually, whole-heartdly and earnestly achieve desired results. However, as the old saying goes, "...nothing good last for ever" and I would like to add, neither should anything else. We have since divorced, and I intend to maintain a separate life-style for the justified good of all further relationships to come.

My educational achievements include pre-school, elementary, junior high, high school and college with very good academic results. I also was given the appreciated opportunity to study the Arts. I learned to model, act, sing and dance. I performed early on in life for many years. I then returned attention education, engulfing my time and efforts into general and secretarial studies, before entering the world of business.

My business education and career include insurance, real estate, small business management, and telecommunications, with an emphasis in sales, collections, customer service, and supervisory management. I also spent time learning and using the arts of: verbal communications, writing, bookkeeping, budgeting, expense reporting, scheduling, attendance, project, labor relations, human resource, training and most importantly, time management.

A series of health setbacks which has given me time to reflect, re-evaluate my beliefs, and reaffirm my intelligble needs. My horizons now include studying the physical world inside, and around me. I seek information, guidance, and enlightment of physcial science, the human anatomy, and sociology. I hope to use the knowledge and information I gain to forge a better relationship with myself and others.

I hope to one day teach what I am learning to others.

Inquisitively yours, Patrice M. Walker-(Pugh)
