Synopsis
I entered parenthood May 28, 1994, with a huge daughter, I was two weeks from turning 19 years old I took a semester off then started community college second semester of the 1994-1995 year. I was second into parenthood June 11, 1995, by a huge son; that 1995-1996 winter baby-mama (VH) and I broke-up while she was carrying number three. Hindsight, I met many in my age group made that mistake it seem at that age we are addicts to our desires so it is like, "go big our go home", was our mission statement, slaving to our carnal desires to the point of destruction, self and society. February 19, 1996, I left a two or three day bruise on my son, elements of error; father renting room, mother and him arguing over money owed, first time I was 100% responsible for preparing them for daycare, son started marathon crying, tried changing, bottle, TV and moving him, nothing worked.

I have been studying accounting since the tenth grade and interviewers were impressed with that fact and currently being a student but as they scroll down the application to the felony question they immediately loose the enthusiasm and say, "we will call you if we are interested", this went on year after year. I've worked two accounting positions nine years apart and I never stopped applying for my chosen career. People treated me as if I went to a daycare with an AK-47 shot nine infants and sodomized eleven, so I often applied with companies I didn't want to work at and positions that would not get me closer to the accounting department, further getting none desired experience ensuring future difficulty in getting the accounting job I wanted. Completed probation successfully December 10, 2004, and after playing by the rules of the game, the rules changed as recently as January 2007, I tried to apply with a temp agency, they
