Breadwinner and scholar I got out into the working world fairly young. My dad passed away when I was a senior in high school. I had bills to pay, and our new mobile home to pay for. I made the decision to get a full-time job and quit school. The school wouldn’t hear of my quitting and told me not to. Next day, I was scheduled to go to work at our local poultry plant. I did graduate with honors, and I got the title to my mobile home about one month before graduation. I accomplished my goals. I didn’t lose what my dad and I had, and I graduated from school. He would have been happy to have seen my last report card. Nancy Stanley,
