Manuel's Story

1/27/2012 Life Story I worked for Albertsons 14 years, as a depatment head, or as the store receiver. I have two sons Michael 27 and JoJo 26. Michael finished up the air conditioning and heating program at SBVC, and is woking full time in a machine shop. JoJo is a Psychology, and Human Developement double major and spent a year at the University of Madrid in the study abroad program at Cal State San Bernardino. He was also in the Minority Access to Resources Careers (MARC), program at CSUSB. He spent a Summer studying at Norte Dame University. He also spent time studying at The Ohio State University,and JoJo has just been accepted into their PhD program. While working for Albertsons, I eventually earned a BA in Criminal Justice and a Paralegal Certificate from CSUSB. I went to law school for a couple years, quitting Albertsons to go work for an attorney. I felt bad doing what lawyers do to people and families, both directly and indirectly.

7 years and love it. I spent 8 years teaching in Pomona, and I'm now in my ninth year in the Moreno Valley Unifed School District. I've been successful teaching the worst of the worst at all grade levels. I've taught regular education classes, and I am in my 14th year teaching the E.D./SDC population. I teach and coach football and baseball at Vista del Lago High School in Moreno Valley, and I've coached football and baseball at high schools in both wealthy and poor areas. I've coached baseball at Garey High, and Ganisha High in Pomona, and I am in my seventh season coaching baseball and football at Vista del Lago. I also coached football at Diamond Ranch High for three years. I was the president of our local youth JAAF football league for two years. I've coached football for 31 seasons. I've coached Little League, Senior League, High School, and American Legion youth programs for 22 seasons. I've come to believe that what is important in life, is how we have touched others and made their lives better in some way.
