Domingo's Story
First things first, I didn't graduate with this fine group of young men..lol But I gotta tell you that I lived 4 years worth of good times and tough times with this group in 2 years :)
I was 'invited' to leave the seminary after my sophmore year. My friend Adrian and I had decided that we were going to break every rule in school, we weren't very smart, and I think we succeeded. This is what led to me leaving the school and then going on to my stellar scholarly career at Cathedral High for a few months, then Roosevelt Magnet program, then into the Roosevelt General Population and then eventually crashing and burning at Roosevelt's continuation school where I eventually got kicked out of because of my poor attendance.
From there I took a detour down a road of alcohol and drug abuse for a couple of years and was eventually saved by getting the heck out of Los Angeles and joining the California Conservation Corps where I learned allot. I was on a crew that fought fires and floods. I also helped manage a...Expand for more
15 acre pine tree nursury used for Christmas trees and reforestation.
And I'm running out of time so I'll give you a quick update:
Joined the United States Marine Corps and ran into Gene Garcia one time on the Amtrak ride home to Los Angeles from Oceanside. Was a helicopter Jet Engine mechanic for 4 1/2 years.
Got married and had a beatiful baby girl in 1992 - the star of my life :)
Began a short career truck driving in the western united states and Mexico for 5 years.
Then joined Kinko's in 1999 which later turned into FedEx Kinko's in 2004 and then which is now FedEx Office - I've enjoyed a 12 yr career with them and got the opportunity to run 3 retail locations and lead a team of 35 people. It's been the wildest ride of my life and I've learned a lifetime of things rolling through all the changes in my company.
Currently living in beautiful La Habra in Orange County and I think I've found my home here.
Looking forward to updating this with more detail further and I hope you are well.
