I worked at many different jobs to pay my way through college. I waited tables, pumped gas and delivered pizza. You could say that I had a very well-rounded education. In addition to my scholastic education, I learned a dozen different trades. I feel a little sorry for those who have their college educations paid for by their daddies. They don't know what th...

The attitude I received from one Professor Francois Fantoche. Msr. Fantoche teaches the arts thespian in a small, decrepit looking structure just a few blocks from Broadway; it truly...
