Laura Wilson:  

d Park, AB and worked in an elementary school but learned I preferred the older students. 1987 I worked at Bosco Homes, a home for deliquents and emotionally disturbed teens. This was their last stop before jail. I stayed here for 2 years. I wasn't very assertive before working her but soon learned to be. Now nothing really surprises me anymore. I left the education field and entered the business world in 1991. I was a customer service representative in an environmental lab. I really found the pace of the job exciting. I was able to work with computers, talk to the clients and learn alot about different samples and analysis. I stayed in the lab environment for 10 years. Eventually I left the lab and did some temp work for a few months until I worked in a psychologist office as an office manager. I stayed there for 4 years. I enjoyed some of the psychologists but not all the duties I was expected to do.... doing my bosses personal finances it not something I'm comfortable doing. In 2003 I went back to the Robin Hood Association and have discovered I really like my job. I've been in and out of the field for most of my work career and even though we aren't paid enough for what we do I'll stay. For the past 18 years I have been coaching 5 pin bowling for Special Olympics. I've been to provincial games and last summer I was head coach for 30 members of Team Alberta. I always thought this was my passion but now I know that it is.
