Here is DIMITRA'S bio;
Hi Adland friends,
I would like to give a big thanks to Marilyn for this great honor.
My name is Dimitra. I was born in a little village, over the mountains, in central Greece. The name of my village is MIKRO CHORIO and means exactly LITTLE VILLAGE!
I was the 6th of 7 children in my family. My parents loved me and we were a poor but happy family. There was nothing to show that this would not last for ever.
I was some months over my 7 years that Sunday morning of January, 1963 when the disasters struck our village and my family specifically. After continuing raining for about 40 days, half of the village sunk down and 13 people killed between them my parents, one of my sisters and an aunt. That was the end of my childhood. The family turned into pieces, I and 2 of my sisters went in an Orphan’s home in Athens, for about 4 months and then we were adopted by different families. Useless to say, that my life was completely different after all these facts.
I grew up pushing the days and the years to become an adult and start my life as I wanted to be, (like most of the kids think). I was a good pupil and reading was my shelter from the reality, especially when I was reading fairy tales or adventures books. When I finally finished high school and an one year college to be a secretary, I started working, first in a representative office and then in a Bank where I met my husband. I married my husband when I was about 22 years old and we have 3 wonderful children. Life after my marriage had good and bad moments, but it was an ordinary life After 30 years working in the Bank, I finally retired about 4 years ago.
Being at home for long time and as an active person I had to find something to keep me busy and give me the opportunity to offer some more money in my family. I found out that people worldwide used the Internet, first to know other people and second to work, part or full time. So, I joined some online business and the first social networking community I joined was AdlandPro. Here I found another family, I met wonderful people and finally I’m relaxed. I have to say a big Thank You to all my friends here who support me and make me feel important.
Thank you again,
Have a wonderful week,
Dimitra
