E. Jean May-Ondora:  

Workplace In high school, I majored in vocational power sewing and had a part time NYC job for the school board. I worked at 112th, 109th, and Graham Elementary Schools. I wanted to be a fashion designer. After high school, my instructor (Ms. Sugarman) got me a job working as a seamstress. I didn't like it, so I got a job working for the LA City School District as a Clerk and Clerk-Steno and went to school part time majoring in Business. I even worked at Fremont for nearly 2 years in the Attendance, Boys VP, Prinicpal, SAC and Main offices. In 1970, I began working for the Post Office as a Clerk Steno. I transferred to Houston P.O.in 1976 when I got married and was promoted to Safety Specialist after working as a clerk, clerk steno, exam clerk and personnel assistant. Moved back home (LA), after my divorce in 1986 and continued working for the P.O. as a Safety Specialist. I was promoted to Manager, Safety & Health and received my CSHM certifcation. I've been with the Postal Service 35 years and in the Safety field for 29 years. I enjoy my job and look forward to retirement. I am now eligible for retirement and have plans to retire July 2005. I work part-time as an Accountant for my Church, enjoy balloon decorating when I can find the time and have passion working with the teenagers in my Church as their Youth Leader. I have a faith-based website for teens. Just recently (5-08), I moved to Jackson, MS. I have been taking care of my mother since retirement in 2005....Expand for more
