I have been reading these boards and will like to introduce my self. I originally came to this country from Mexico in the middle eighties and have found the American life style very difficult. I have never adjusted my self and will like to move back to the small town that I came from within the next 5 years. I am very great full for all the things that I have learned and have accomplish over the years in this great country. My wife thinks that I am basically nuts but everyday and every year that goes by I just feel like a slave in this American system. Coming from a small town, I was very naïve and did not understood this system and my first 20 years went by very fast in school and working everyday. I am probably burning the candle from both ends, but I really enjoy my job and really hate the insatiable appetite for more and more results. Been an employee of a large publicly traded company is a real pain where the sun never shines, there is no satisfaction always asking for more. It kind of reminds me of the commercial were the DOG is trying to catch up with his tail. I have a 16 year old son that I need to put through college, and after that I am basically done. My plan is to open a laboratory and teach some science but not just the book stuff but the actual hands on. Two years ago, I thought some 6-13 year old kids how candy gets made and went on a field trip to a factory were candy was made. I did not earned any money from this teaching experience but the great reward was seen the grind on the faces. I hate formal teaching but normally teach using a discussion method where there are no right or wrong answers just possibilities. It is a very peculiar way of teaching where the first question is always how or why. Sincerely,
Speedy (nick name)
