Now I am a 45 year old senior and a little bit better at it. Children are more familiar with computers these days because of video games.

My parents wouldn't let me sit around the house on weekends and summer vacations, they made me get out of the house and be active to some degree. When I graduated from high school in 1966, I moved to Dallas,Tx. I got a job at Sewell Village Cadillac as a service porter. Eventually, I was promoted to selling used and new cars. After 8 years, I started a family and started working for Kimberly-Clark Inc., in Paris. I had a disabling motorcycle accident. That is what brought me back to college.
