COMPUTER STUDENT

I became completely fascinated with computers from the very first time I sat down in front of one in 1980. So, it is no surprise that I now enjoy spending my retirement either working on my website, www.FunnyPhotosContest.com a photo contest for cute or funny photos and photo captions or providing computer tutoring to seniors at the local senior center. However, I have not received any requests for lessons during the last six to eight months – maybe everyone is too concerned about the terrible economy. But this morning I was pleased to finally receive a phone call from a gentleman who wants to learn Excel, a financial program. And so we scheduled an appointment for Friday afternoon.

I enjoy teaching computer lessons as I taught fourth grade for a few years right after graduating college and then taught computer short courses at the University of Wisconsin before I retired. Thus, I’m looking forward to tutoring once again.
