“Well I wont back down, no I wont back down/ You can stand me up at the gates of hell/But I wont back down”
Tom Petty

So I have made a choice. I actually had the choice made, but I am just going to acknowledge it. I’m standing firm. Perhaps I should start job hunting and posting resumes and all that. The hell with it though. I’ve been here too long and done too much to get my Alan Wickers all twisted. I’m going to be here and that’s how I’m acting. I’ve worked to hard to have someone who holds a position for a year come and sweep me away. Not to mention I’ve got backing so the hell with it. I’m living by a new saying…W.W.W.D. - What Would Wolverine Do? (See Catherinette, I found where he fits in). The Killer Canuck wouldn’t work on his resume. Well, he’d probably come in smoking a cigar and give homeboy the middle…claw. I may not go that far…but I will do me and for the last 7 years this has been a part of me. I won’t abandon those who rely on me. I may have an extra beer when I go home though…sue me. I won’t attempt to wow this cat either. I figure if you can’t be impressed with what I’ve shown you so far then nothing will impress you. Here is an interesting figure though:

In a 5 year period we enrolled 366 young people. In the same period we had 343 job placements. That’s not too shabby. I know what I’ve accomplished that would never count in numbers and that’s what I will rely on.
