I was never an intellectual phenom. Look at my bio, I was barely educated at 20 and had to start in a junior college. But once I discovered college and learned how to learn, I became a zealot about education.

I got my first big job with the state as a consultant doing grant reviews for the office of alcoholism and drug abuse. I was 27. We had community programs all over the state (just like they have now) and each year those programs had to submit a plan and budget which we had to review for funding.

I always needed work (as I grew up poor) and had to figure out how to keep my job, so I learned the budget. Everyone else was scared of the budget and once I learned it I sort of became indispensable and they had to keep finding spots for me to keep me employeed. which was my plan.

When the director left, they looked around and I had a lot of support and they hired me. It was a job appointed by the governor. I am not exactly sure why they chose me?

Three years later I was the State director of the office of emergency medical services. I wrote both state plans.
