I had several inspirations in life besides my own self.

#1. My mother - her elocution lesson speech, "As you go through life dear brother, whatever be your goal...keep your eye upon the donut and not upon the hole.(the donut hole that is, for anyone thinking dirty)

#2. My paternal aunt - refused to allow my brothers and I to go to live in an orphanage back in the 1960s due to being orphaned young. She took us in. Additionally, she refused to allow me to drop out of nursing school at the very end and insisted I quit my 5 jobs that I worked 7 days a week to support myself. She sent me any money I needed to live on to finish off my last semester. I sent her the money back within a year.

#3. My computer literacy teacher - I couldn't have challenged the online Blackboard courses without his patience. I learned from him that I was the fastest and most accurate typist in the class and would move the mouse around habitually like it was a typewriter carriage.I was most frustrated trying to understand Microsoft office. He taught me that computers aren't just for kids. But none of the kids in the class could come even close to typing with my speed and accuracy.

#4. My older brother Dan - who is going on 61 and into his second year of his PhD studies in cancer research.

#5. Myself and some very talented young people- at almost 59(less than 2 months from now), I am more than 1/2 completed with dual medical programs in a Community College and carrying a 3.87 GPA (grade point average). GPA will go higher by the end of this semester with two more A's I hope to get. Law and statistics are not easy courses. Just got inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and am the oldest member inducted to date on campus. I get some funny looks as a senior citizen amongst all these young people, especially as I hike the campus at high speed (with books in tow) when my back hernias are not flared up. The youngest inducted who just turned 17 the day of the induction is studying aerospace engineering. Probably will be a rocket scientist. Other very young ones are in the early study stages taking all the pre med stuff to be doctors and business managers. They are really very inspirational to me. They will graduate high school and college at the same time and have scholastic honors in both along with being class leaders in their high school organizations too. Truly unbelievable what talent and perseverance they have. They will immediately roll over this Associate degree into the Bachelors Degree and have half of their Bachelors degree pre med programs completed at the age of 18. They are in special honors classes in the college which also require additional community service projects along with their college class studies. Incredible young people they all are. I'm quite humbled to be with them.
