The second part of my autobiography reflects on my carrier in California following my divorce after 6 years of marriage. I went back to school, received a Bachelor and Master degrees and became very successful at my job with one achievement after the other, including Department Manager of the Year and Twice Recipient of the President Discretionary Award.
