Gloria's Story
School
There were a few teachers who inspired me, but one stands out above the rest: Ernest Winter. Mr. Winter was my Grade 12 English teacher, he was retiring at end of the last year I spent in high school, and in fact the last class I ever had at ECVI and the last he ever taught was my English class.
I attempted to write a book when I was 16 (an angst-filled book of poetry!) and Mr. Winter was *so* encouraging! He didn't laugh or criticize, instead gave me the name of a publishing house to see how far it would get me. Although the poems were never published, I will always remember his kindness. One thing I wanted to do but didn't have the chance, was thank him all these years later. He passed away last year at the grand old age of 9...Expand for more
3. Bless him.
Workplace
I am now disabled due to a car crash in 2001 (I was hit on my driver's door when a woman ran a red light. She impacted my car going about 120 km/hr at Hwy 7 and Simcoe St). Prior to that, I worked in the insurance field in Toronto as an office assistant to various supervisors, working my way up to office manager at a firm called Benefit Design. I also worked at the Dept. of Social Services in their Daycare subsidy division for 11 years.
Although I am unable to work, I own and run an online classic rock radio station, ThunderRockRadio®, which I started in January of 2003. It's a neat little hobby that I can do from home and I enjoy it immensely.
