Abstract: My name is Michelle Pettitt. I am 23 years old. I am on my own now. I live in a group home. I have three jobs. I work in an office at Iowa Electric on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I work in Community Relations at Grant Wood Area Education Agency on Tuesday and Thursday. Sometimes on Saturday I do salad prep at Hardee's Restaurant. I like to have jobs. I'm saving to buy a CD player and to fly to Denver to see my sister and brother-in-law. I am in college too at Kirkwood Community College. I take a computer class. Next year I also want to take business and math. In my future I want to move to an apartment and I want to work at Wendy's too. And I want to get married.
