SO I WAS DOING THE WORK OF TWO PEOPLE ANSWERING THE PHONES NON STOP, RINGING UP CUSTOMES,SENDING OUT DELIVERIES,WAITING ON CUSTOMERS IN THE STORE AFTER I HAD DID THIS FOUR MONTH’S MY BOSS GOT COMFORTABLE AND FIGURED HE DIDN’T NEED TO HIRE ANYONE THAT I COULD DO IT ALONE. I WAS ABLE TO DO IT BUT IT
TOOK A TOLL ON MY BODY.MY LEGS WOULD HURT SO BAD. MY FEET BURN SOMETHING AWFUL.I USE TO CALL MY MOM AND TALK TO HER ABOUT HIS BEFORE SHE DIED IN SEPT. AND SHE TOLD ME “DUTCH” MY NICK NAME. SHE SAID WHITE FOLKS IS WHITE FOLKS

I have tried so hard to contact Tyler Perry
I decided to give it up. I sent mail to his studio which was returned. I called his studio
no such luck! I have went on several different
message board. He can send you mail on his mail list through the web but you can’t reponded.I sent 45 post cards thinking atleast those would go through since a closed letter won’t
I will give up on meeting or ever shadowing Tyler Perry but I will not give up on my dream to become a playwriter.
As of OCT.22ND 2009
I quit my job after applying for school district
and finding out that my boss have indeed been
giving false information. He’s been giving me a bad reference to keep me employed to him.
with no job , no income, I walked.
I’m so proud of you CoCo. Can I call you Coco?! You go girl. I know you will find the career of your dreams! Jah Bless!
This morning I feel defeated like he won and I
am left with nothing.The liscense that I have to be a pharmacy tech is useless no one in fort smith will hire me. and all those years I
put in at his company Is gone I have to start
over.I can’t explain the emotions and the pain
that I am feeling right now.I was just thinking
about all the jos I applied for in the past….
walgreens-zero-massard-and on greenwood ave.
harps 74th steet-zero street and grand ave.
price cutters all locatins Targets pharmacy
city of fort smith. walmart pharmcy all locations. medi sav pharmacy- prince drug store
law drug store – stone wood village drug store-
health depot -sparks hospital drug store- summit medical pharmacy- st. edwards hospital pharmacy.vista health south pharmacy.and theri
are more that I can’t remember. but out of all these Jobs no one belived me that I m a good worker,respectable, good attendance,on time,polite, good personality.I learned your
reputation can be ruin and you have no control
over it.I was such a good worker coleman’s pharmacy ruin me to keep me.and with what’s left of my self eteem I left.I was being torn down I was starting to second quess myself
feeling unqualified .this was when I started
to focus my attention on something else to avoid the mental abuse. I put on weight,stress
I was to the point of having trouble with my heart. IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME COMMING BUT I THANK GOD FOR REVEALING IT TO ME. MY WAITING AND PRAYING WAS NO IN VEIN.I AM BITTER, I HAVE
STRIFE I HAVE TO PRAY FOR A CLEAN HEART AND I HAVE TO MOVE ON.
