Continuing On
All the negativity no longer gets her down! Post Army life for Jessica includes two degrees from the University of West Virginia. Lucky for Jessica, her tuition cost her nothing. Thus, she finally got to work towards teaching like she dreamed of as a teen.
Finding Love
At last, Jessica found someone to share her life with and move on from her traumatic past. Her aunt introduced her to Wes Robinson, a factory worker, at a Christmas party in 2005. She remembers when things started looking up, “I met the man of my dreams, and I wanted this family. I wanted this life. I didn’t want to be a just a broken soldier with nothing.”
