Stephen McClinton:  

Life After graduation in 1995, I attended ITT Technical Institute to study Computer Aided Drafting for one year. It was great but,in May of 1996, I decided to drop out. ITT Tech didn't have any Basic Skills courses to build your education from the ground up. After leaving ITT Tech in May 1996, I started my education all over again at Milwaukee Area Technical College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I studied the Basic Skills courses to develop my potential for my chosen major, and in January of 1997, I entered in the program of Printing and Electronic Publishing (now known as Graphic Communication Technologies) which led me to an Associate Degree in May of 2000. In between, I worked for two temporary services, local employers of the Milwaukee World Festival, Wisconsin Center District, St. Camillus Campus, a nursing home in Wauwatosa, UW-Milwaukee as an Offset Press Operator, Quebecor World as a temp bindery worker. Plus, a Finishing Associate at Coakley-Tech.(They were "short- lived jobs" in which they didn't last very long due to layoffs.) I also worked for UPS, as a Seasonal Driver Helper for 2 holiday seasons, and one peak season as a Seasonal Package Handler for the Wisconsin District. And I also became a member of the Teamsters 344 Union. I am also currently active and working in my church-New St. James Community Church United Methodist Church here in Milwaukee. I am currently a member of the Usher Board, and communications. And soon to be a computer lab associate.Furthermore, I work as a Secretary and Custodian. In addition I have been involved with the Milwaukee Scholarship Coalition, formally known as the Martin Luther King All-A-Thon Scholarship Fundraiser for 5 years (and won 6 Scholarships)Plus, I volunteered at African World Festival in August '97, and my home church for several summers as a volunteer for their summer programs. I also volunteered as a game assistant for the Milwaukee Public Schools in the spring of 2001. Right now, I am residing with my oldest sister near the Hampton Avenue neighborhood in Milwaukee. In May, 2006 I have graduated from the UW-Stout in Industrial Management Program via Distance Education. I used Distance Education to earn my degree through Online Courses and 2 way Video Conferencing at a remote site. Also, I took more courses at Milwaukee Area Technical College to add along with my Bachelor's Degree. ( i.e. Milwaukee Area Technical College is a remote site for UW-Stout). With this degree, hopefully I could add more emphasis on the Industrial/Graphics Fields. As far as my martial status, I am single, with no children (sorry I haven't met or dated anyone!) and as for my outside activities besides computers, my choice in music (mostly hip hop, soul, and r&b) reading, sports, and video games, I still play my saxophones!-this time upon request for my church. Plus, more recently, I have been going Alumni Gatherings for MATC, where I met other former students from various classes in the Milwaukee Area. Plus, I also attended UW-Stout Alumni Gatherings for the Milwaukee Area residents, and recently, I attended alumni outings for John Marshall High School in which it does involves reunions for my 90's classes, and also I was apart of the school's 50th Anniversary Committee in which I assisted and helped the needs of the Alumni Association for the events. In addition, I am actively serving on the Marshall Alumni Association Board of Directors with me being the first 90's black alum to be selected. That's my story. Hope to hear from all of you soon!

Also, I remember Dodgeball, Gymnastics, and Kickball in gym class! 1988-1991: Jackie Robinson Middle School Mascots and Colors: Lions and...Expand for more
