This Milestone
Jun 11,2022
As I embark on this milestone, I reminisce of my past and all my challenges. I wasn't able to attend my graduation ceremony, so this picture displays a cap made by my children and celebrating at dinner.
I raised five children, three achieving Baccalaureate degrees and one of the three a Masters. My other two children choice factory work. As you may guess, I had no choice with success flowing in and around me. I encourage others to not give up and to always apply oneself. I give thanks to all those who have played a role in my success. First, to God, to my local union, AFSCME, my professors at Eastern Gateway, Toledo Public Schools, my family and friends. It is with great honor and pleasure that I am wearing, bearing and proudly a member of the National Honor Society.
