It’s All About Me

            Okay, where would you like me to begin?  My name is Lila Elisabeth Capps, but everyone calls me Lisa.  I am 19 years old.  I way born on July 4, 1980 in Newport News, Virginia and Yes, I am a fireworks baby.  I lived in Newport News for 13 years.  The summer before I started high school, I moved to Foxhill in Hampton.  In 1998 I graduated from Kecoughtan High School.  I have now lived in Hampton for almost 7 years.

          I am very close with my family.  My mom is an office manager at Charles Yost Custom Cabinets, where she has worked for 11 years.  I have an older sister who is a registered nurse at Riverside Rehabilitation Hospital in Newport News.  My dad lives in North Carolina, not to sure of the exact city because he travels a lot with his job.  In my free time, I enjoy going to the beach with my mom, sister, and Denise, on of my good friends.

          Right now I am not sure what I am going to major in.  I know it will be something to do with business or accounting.  More than likely it will be accounting because I love working with numbers.  I am currently working at the Hampton YMCA, where I have worked for three years.  I am responsible for payroll, handling employee maintenance, and accounts payable.  I really enjoy working with the people I work with.

          What are my goals in life?  My major goal right now is getting through school.  I am very proud of myself for finally starting.  At first I was kind of scared about working and going to school, but it is not to hard, yet.  Another goal in my life is to find a good career.  I enjoy working at the YMCA and plan to stay there for a while.  A goal that I have set for myself in the future is to marry and start a family.

          Well, I have enjoyed telling you these few things about myself and I hope you have enjoyed it as well.
