feeling competent

I started in nursing as a little girl when my mom would prepare a pot of soup and corn bread for us to eat and then take what was left to the elderly in our neighborhood. She would say when I get to their home to clean up the dishes and pick up any clutter [...]

I’ve been working at Maccas for 1.5 years now, and I actually, contrary to most stories you see, actually enjoy it.
I’m 15, and go to school near where the store I work is. The best thing about the store is that it’s in a shopping centre. Yes, no toilets to clean, no tables and customer area [...]

I write mainframe software.
I’m currently in the Dallas/Fort Worth (Texas) metroplex.
I want to change my skill set over to writing PC software.
I hope then I’ll be able to buy into the family partnership and network the business.
