I attended Fairmont Elementary School and I graduated as valedictorian. Mrs. Kathy McDaniel was my private tutor. She worked with me diligently during my entire childhood. She later on in life taught at Michigan State University. She was like a mother figure to me. She inspired and encouraged me as a young author to continue to write.
I graduated from boom T.H.S., immediately after high school. I joined the U.S. Army and served with pride and honor for six years. I was discharged with an honorable discharge. I received several medals and honor awards. For instance, I received the “Good Conduct Medal”, the “National Defense Medal” and the “Big M Award.” I served the majority of tour in Germany.
I continued to pursue my education at a higher level after completing my military service. I attended Prairie State College (major psychology). I transferred to Aerospace Institute (major aviation administration, minor English composition). I graduated from Writer’s Digest School (major English composition). My transcripts are currently at Dominican University in River Forest Illinois.
I have published poems in the “American Poetry Anthology”, the “New York Poetry Anthology”, “The National Library of Poetry” (That’s when I became a distinguished poet in 1993). I received “The Editor’s Choice Award” in March of 2008 for Outstanding Achievement in Poetry (“Her Eyes”) from “The International Library of Poetry”.view less
