David's Story

Life Since graduation I went to technical school for three years. I have worked in the field of electronic engineering ever since graduation in from technical school. I have work for the General Motors Research and Development Center since 1983. In 1994 I completed my Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Electronic Engineering. I have my own company called Gnome Electronics. I still live where I have always lived. For more information visit me at my web site. My interest is in robotics and Artificial Intelligence. I am presently writing a non-verbal programming language. Recently I have begun to design and make sterling silver jewelry and work in film and digital photography. School School was very rough for me. My first grade teacher played psychologist with our class and tagged many in our class as un-teachable. For the rest of my time in the Roseville Community Schools I could never keep my grades up. I technical school and college I did quite well. I finished my Bachelors degree in 1994 with a 4.102 GPA. After I graduated from high school I discovered that our school district was getting large amounts of money from the federal government for teaching children with learning difficulties from the various, “Title,” programs. I often wondered why I understood science and technology and had trouble in basic math classes. After taking printed papers to my professors in my technology school it was discovered that most of what I had been taught was nonsensical. We reviewed my geometry work and nearly every given only worked in the example and nowhere else. This ensured that the students could not learn anything. As for the social aspects of my school day they were even worse that the academic part. I had a neighbor that needed our home and recruited vast numbers of students to harass me while in school. Even our principal was involved when our armed security guards took his daughter home after a vandalism incident at our home. He used his authority to persuade me to tell him which officers brought his girl home. He sent several days trying to persuade the Roseville Police to turn over any incident reports to him. I explained who the officers were and began torturing me on a daily basis for the rest of time I was in his school. He then proceeded to try to destroy me with my technical school. The president of this school brought me in and played a recorded meeting his had with this man. My brother and my mother also had problems while at this school. My mother lost her job because of all of this. He eventually moved up to the school board. While there he successfully delayed the introduction of computer technology for many years. He claimed that studies are best done on individual (hand held) slate boards. In 1970 I had enrolled and been accepted to Macomb College in the computer science program. On day I was called into mi...Expand for more
ss Reed’s office and informed that despite her objections the principle went over to the college’s admissions office and had me removed from Macomb College. I soon got a letter from the college and my returned check, which I kept. The people that started all of this sat back and let others do all of their dirty work for them. They continued to have a life for themselves. They though it perfectly natural to destroy the lives of others with no more concern that swatting a fly. So what do you think of people like this? Is this the kind of thing that should have been happening? When my father died he never saw a moment of piece. This went on for 35 years and still I was taken into court on a phony gun charge by one of these people after they had moved. College To quote SNL’s Garrett Morris, “College was very, very good to me.” As apposed to high school where politics ruled, college was very different. When I choose to go to college I started at Macomb. I took the ASAT test in mathematics and English. I aced the math test and blew the English portion. After a semester of English 005 I was where I should have been when I left high school. I completed all of the classes that I could at Macomb before moving to Siena Heights College. While in college I tool mostly psychology, and business classes. I received nearly A or A+ in ever class. My college assigned all of my homework in the form of research papers. One of my papers that I wrote on Biofeedback was presented at an APA conference. My last semester there I was given the complete list of all work that was to be done for the whole semester. The next class (two weeks later) I handed in all of my work for the entire semester. This included two fifty-page reports, which the instructor persuaded me to reduce to fewer than twenty pages. I really liked Siena. It is a bit pricey, but my company paid my tuition. Workplace Since leaving high school I have always worked in electronics. My first job was servicing shirt pocket calculators. I then went to work for Westinghouse Numalogic in a group that was designing programmable controllers. Next I worked for eight years for a company that designed nearly anything that our customers wanted. Most of this worked involved the design of small microcomputer driven controllers. We basically invented as we went along. Most of this was done for the automotive industry. I then worked for a software company that sold publishing software for creating newspapers, magazines and books. For the past nineteen years I has worked for the General Motors Research Laboratories. I am in an engineering group that designs test and control instrumentation. Most of my work consists of circuit design from schematic to printed circuit board. I also write the code for these instruments. Recently I have begun to design hand-held battery powered test equipment.
