Now, she still…

I've decided to shadow Bill Gates and the work of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

My hero would have to be my Uncle Ches. He is currently working on obtaining his automotive mechanic certification. My uncle retired from the military almost 10 years ago. Instead of taking a very high paying military consulting/contractor job he chose to teach middle school. After e few years of doing so he felt a calling to the automotive field. His father owned a truck stop while he was growing up so I think it runs in his blood. After my uncle completes his automotive certificate he…

But like many other important people in the retirement he uses his time to help our community…
