Life In the immortal words of Gabby Hayes,"Doll garn dangit I was born here and I was raised here". I am referring to the wonderful town of Garden City,MI. I have lived in Garden City for most of my life. The people of Garden City are wonderful. I have been through the worst and the best in this town. I lived in Fort Wayne,IN for a year. They are a good bunch of folks, too. But, Garden City is the best. No where can you find more places to eat than in Garden City. It is a quaint town, nestled in around Westland, Inkster, and Dearborn Heights. I have taught in Garden City for 4 years. Guest Teacher (i.e. Substitute). I played on the streets of Garden City when I was a kid. Street hockey, tackle football, baseball, and soccer. Soccer was the only sport that I played organized. The other sports were with neighborhood friends of mine. Basketball, too. I grew up kind of sheltered. I studied hard and played hard throughout my growing up as a student and as an athelete in Garden City. I was able to pay my way through college by working in the Summer and going to school in the Fall and Winter terms. I was a very motivated and independent person. I had some of the best teachers growing up in Garden City and in the University that I commuted to. The High School fight song for the Garden City Cougars is, "Hail to the Victors". This is ironic, because I am a Michigan Grad. During my college career I managed to go to Michigan Football games for 5 years in a row. I got to know that fight song real well. In fact I have it on CD. Those were my glory years. The hard times followed. I over loaded myself in college and had a breakdown. I was hit hard by this. I did not want to go to school anymore. Somehow, by the grace of God. I managed to get my diploma in Fall 1993. If it wasn't for the good study habits I had and good up bringing I might not have made my goal of Bachelor of Science....Expand for more
