As a young girl I decided to I wanted to be a truck driver (this was back in 1977), I was told "NO, it's not a woman's job" when I applied to several company's in England where I grew up. In high school I was told "NO, you can't take auto shop or wood working cause your a girl", you have to take cooking and sewing (to this day I still can't cook but I can make a mean set of clothes without a pattern). I used to spend a lot of time with my dad tinkering with cars in the garage, I guess I was the son he never had.
I have never been a foo foo girl, never played with dolls, my mum gave up trying to get me into a dress and stay clean for five minutes, I was always swinging in trees, getting dirty and playing with boys trucks and cars, as real tom boy does.
Anyhow fast forward 35 years, I had an injury and can no longer do the job I was doing for the last 25 years so I decided it was time to live my dream (I'm not getting any younger), I am now going to start CDL school in a few weeks and my life time desire to be a truck driver is going to become real, I moved to America in 1985, and am very proud to call myself an American that can finally be what I always wanted to be, a truck driver, so you see never say never.
Never say never.
