Jim's Story

Life I graduated from Poca High in 1973. My classmates voted me "Most Likely to Succeed," so I guess they knew something I didn't. I suppose I usually DO get what I want, even if it nearly kills me! I went to Marshall University and graduated with an A.B. degree (Educational Media K-12) in Spring 1977. That fall, I began substitute teaching in Putnam County. I got a full-time job as elementary librarian in 1978. I received a Master's Degree (Elementary Education) from MU in 1981. From 1987 to present, I've been school librarian at Hurricane High. Believe it or not, I've had THREE different libraries within this school...original 1970 room; moved into new addition in 1992; and NEWEST addition in 2003! I'm an expert at moving by now! I really don't understand why this online service is promoting online dating, even though I live alone in Scott Depot. It's also insensitive asking me if I wanted to meet sexy GAL...Expand for more
S in my area. College I began my college education at Marshall University in the Fall of 1973. It was a BIG transition from high school and from living at home. I was required to live in the dorm during my freshman and sophomore years--a mandate worse than death. All it taught me was that most guys are there to party, have sex, and stay up all hours of the night, not to mention the horrors of false fire alarms at 2 a.m. on a regular basis! I found out I had no skills in either composition or essay writing. After graduating high school with a 3.75 GPA, I didn't even make a 3.0 during my college freshman year. By my junior year, I 'took off'. My grades rose and it all seemed to piece together, ever so slowly. In my major of Educational Media (Library Science), I had a 3.9 overall GPA, though I graduated with a cumulative 3.25 GPA. Grad school was a breeze and I got my Master's in 1981 and overall GPA of 3.7.
