After graduating from college, I decided to take a year off to relax and travel before heading back to school. Six months into my vacation, I found my friends and family too busy studying and working to “vacation” with me. Bored to tears, I started looking for a part-time job to occupy my time. I stopped by CSM’s career center in hopes of finding a retail position at Macy’s, or renting out videos at the local Blockbuster. Instead, I came across an Adapted P.E. flyer in search of instructional aids. I turned in my resume and was hired the next day! Thereafter, this part-time job that was supposed to merely occupy my time, turned into a full-time career.

Very few ever find their dream job, and I am lucky to have stumbled upon this one. I feel blessed to be given the opportunity to work with such a great staff and wonderful students. As in the movie “Lilo and Stitch,” the word “ohana” means family, and I think that I have found a great one. I am very proud to be a part of CSM’s Adapted P.E. family.
