Kindergarten included Cambridge and Ayers Elementary schools.
~ Grand: the British in me finds it extremely amusing tha 'Cambridge' could be the name of an Elementary school.
When I read this, I thought you might want to connect with a great girlfriend in Arizona who is also great with beads and beading. Maybe you two could connect and network your beadwork together?
>>I also do beadwork; I make, sell, and give gifts of my bead projects. I have learned to utilize stones, gems, and minerals into my work. One of my trademarks is a braided design, with three stones in the middle of the braids.<<
Let me know if you're interested and I'll let you have her Facebook page.
Best,
Apky

Thank you so much for reading and detail. Yes, I'd like that a lot. She can find me (and you) as Darren Gandy, Sacramento, Ca
Thanks!

Great! You could leave her a message on Facebook. I'll ask her to expect it, then the two of you could get down to the beads. Her name is Betsi Newbury, and she is (my) a great editor too.

congratulations on the successes by overcoming the obsticles I your life instead of letting them just slip by as a lot of youngsters did. Nicely written but I think Bible should be capitolized.

I had an addition to alcohol, and gambling, until God rescued me at age 41. (although drugs weren't indulged in early in my life, so thankfully missed that one) I'm a songwriter and performer, so we share a few biographical things, Darren, well done, just love victorious testimonies, blessings, Roy

Comment from Poetic Friend
I throughly enjoyed reading your accomplishments through out your life, commencing with your elementary school years and ending with your accomplishment of overcoming addiction. I never been addicted to any drugs, but I know people who were addicted, and it was not easy for them. Congratulations on this accomplishment and all the others written in your engaging story.
Just a minor grammar nit in the below sentence:
In high school, I studied [E]nglish, math; up to algebra II, history, and computer programming
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks, Darren, for sharing your lifestory. Sounds like you had a very good educational background and you have a wonderful attitude to work. Be blessed, Brother Badger and may our Lord confirm the works that you do and redeem the years that the "locusts" (meth) ate.
Minor note:
Actually, Joseph was Israel/Jacob's 11th son. His 12th was Benjamin.

Comment from crich
"My greatest achievement of this period in my life was overcoming a twenty-four year addiction to methamphetamine. I learned a lot, and I am able to utilize my message of strength and hope with other suffering addicts. My message is loud, clear, and quite genuine, as I talk from a postion of knowledge."
This is the story I want to read. I am confident there is an emotion and a vividness in this section that you haven't shared in this resume of your life. If you have flushed out this part in other areas of your writing, please let me know! In my humble opinion, this is where the story begins.

Yes, most of the previous chapters tell the story with much more detail. If you will forgive the lack of this information, I am getting ready to publish, and wanted to finish this last chapter. If you are interested, please refer to my portfolio, and click on the book "Lamentations of a Lost Laddy", my biography. There you will find a lot of details, mostly in chapters 3-5.

Comment from Sasha
I am impressed you remember so many of your teachers's names. I only remember the ones I hated, and sadly, there were several. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and know what you want out of life. This is very well written and filled with fascinating things about your very interesting life. You also project excellent pride in who you are and where you have been. I like this very much.
