What jobs have you had?
I have had many jobs, over many years. Examples are working at a bakery in high school, and at a restaurant in college. Teacher and professor in education. Family caregiver. Volunteer work at church and at a nursing home.
I served as a volunteer in education for a few years at The Haiku Foundation, and helped begin The Haiku Foundation Education Resources. We wrote many lesson plans. Jim Kacian is the editor for this work.
And now I am grateful to be here. Thank you.
