People think I'm really smart...

Fact is, when you do anything enough times you get good at it.

I've been in the Army, earned my degree in English Education from The Univeristy of Arizona, and have been a teacher of English, Publications, and Life.

My first job ...

My best moment ...

When I realized that it was within my power to make my marriage work.

My inspiration ...

fear of being poor for the rest of my life.
