Roy Shine:  

thing to be very proud of. Workplace My worklife has been a varied and rewarding. I worked a dishwasher for Kings Row Inn when I was still in high school, worked for Dominio's Pizza when came back home after a year at Grambling. I then worked for AutoShack, later renamed AutoZone as a Salesman, with the late Howard Jones. I moved up to parts sales manager and transfered to West Monroe, LA. I worked for AutoZone until I joined the United States Coast Guard. I worked as a recruiter/campus liason for the Coast Guard until I graduated. I then went to Officer Candidate School and worked as a Marine Safety Officer in Morgan City , LA from 1993-1996, then I transfered to New Orleans and was there for two years then I left because I didn't want to have a career in Marine Safety my entire time in the Coast Guard. So, I left and got a with Kraft Foods as a Team Resource(aka Production Supervisor). I did that for a year and a half and decided I would be happier doing something that I wanted to do in life instead of just getting a check every two weeks. So I resigned and took the money I had saved and what was in my 401k and moved back to Texarkana and got a job working a substitute teacher, then teacher's aide and that translated into what I am doing now working as an In School Suspension teacher at the elementary campus. It is good to be home and in a place that allows me to share my story with children, so that they realize that it does not matter where you live our how much money you have..what matters is the drive to be the best that you can be in this world, country, state and city.
