Joseph's Story

At PS 123 I hung around with boy's named Richie Giglio,Joey Mirabella, Pipitone(Benny?),Anthony Bucalo, Joey Milatello. I went to both the Starr and Willoughby movie theater's in those days.I was an avid comic book reader.After 5th grade I went to PS 74 and because my parent's wrote a note telling the teacher's I had a murmer of the heart,I wasn't allowed by the gym teacher Mr. Bergman to play sport's.(Don't do that to your children and grandchildren.) I used to deliver the Herald Tribune in the school and some young tough's robbed me once and I turned them in. After grad I went to Bushwick High and stayed there 6 months.My grade's were very low and I wasn't interested in the subject matter at the time. I transfered to ENYVHS and it was fine for a couple of years.I earned the highest grades in the school. Unfortunately they posted those grades in the school walls and that's when all hell broke loose. I was beaten up by a gang of rowdy's who called me "teacher' pet".I was interested in Auto Shop and loved fixing car's.I had to transfer to GWVHS and my new subject was watch making.When it come's to working with very small parts my hands are like a gor...Expand for more
illa.No Way! I dropped out and a few years later received my GED and graduated CUNY with an AAS degree. After school,I worked at a local bakery and then went into the US Army.I came out of the army and began working in the factories as a paint sprayer.Painting came to me pretty natural. I stopped painting when I got my drivers license and worked for a couple of wholesale bakeries.I was a routesalesman. After college I did accounting work and then went back to painting. Later I worked in Corrections in another State. My life has been pretty interesting. I've crashed into a few walls along the way but I do get up and carry on.God is good and has allowed me to keep on going. I've been married twice and I'm still married to my second wife. I've never taken any drugs but I used alcohol during my life. I don't drink and haven't drank alcohol in years. I'm still working and I call myself a retired worker. Well I tried not to make this too boring.Thanks. *** I had to amend this profile about being poor because it was too generalized.Some people are poor through no fault of their own. What I should state is if your healthy and able to work - get a job.
