My name is Jessica Flerlage and I am 36 years old. I was born and raised in Oak Ridge, Missouri, by my parents. They have been married for 36 years. I have one sister who is 10 years older than me. We share the same mom. I come from a rather large family that all lived on the same gravel road while I was growing up. I attended Oak Ridge R-6 from kindergarten until graduation. I played volleyball and softball, and I was in the band. I played clarinet and Obo. I was on the color guard team for the marching band until my senior year. In my senior year, I became the Majorette. I was in many clubs and on the student council. I even got prom queen. After high school, I set out for work. I made an attempt at college in my early twenties and wound up dropping out. I was going for business management. After dropping out, Menards moved into my town, and I got the head cashier position. After the first year, I became the assistant plumbing manager. A few years later I became the Inventory controller. I worked at Menards for 7 years. My pregnancy was hard and then my son was born with a rare disease, so I had no choice but to stay home. I have three special needs children; one is my bonus child. Sadly drugs were a problem for his biological mother. I have been married for five and a half years. We got married within the first year. We bought and moved into my Grandparent’s home in 2020, the land I grew up on. I have had to fight incredibly hard for my children to get a proper education. I am now enrolled in South University, to get an associate in Paralegal. I am currently 4 months in and have a 4.0! I will do big things for human rights. I will advocate for the innocent and one day, I will fight in the Supreme Court.
