Mike's Story
what I've done?
College right after High School. RCC for a term and then SOSC for five years. Teaching Certificate with endorsements English, Social Science, Sociology, Secondary Education, Special Education.
And I worked. A lot. Janitor, cook, rehab counselor, foster parent, gas station (the most fun, seriously) Head start teacher, Library Aide, Teaching Assistant, meteriologist, grocery store cashier, Group home Direct Care staff, Group Home Assistant Manager, Group Home Program Manager. And I even worked at a fabric store. Actually, that was pretty fun, too.
My family has been in the quilting business for several generations and my sister Debbie runs it now and several years ago I surcombed to the pressure and made a quilt for her.

Its been an interesting life. Most of my really good stories are hard to believe (fortunately,for me, I do have witnesses, although I'm sure some of them would rather have not been there to see it at the time. (Big Smile)
Yep, can't think of anything else.
