This allowed me to work on my goal, which was to learn everything about what made people “tick.” Why do they function as they do?

There I facilitated in the educational outreach to schools, utilizing the research and knowledge of chimpanzee behavior to give young people a better understanding of human behavior. These interactive lectures to students received rave reviews and were personally rewarding.
I went on to receive a Masters in Counseling, becoming a Nationally Certified Mental Health Counselor and working for a short time at Southern Arizona Mental Health Center in Tucson, Arizona. This gave me greater insight into the successes and failures of thought processes guiding behaviors.

In my lifetime of collecting historical quotes on the effects of mankind's thoughts, words, and actions, I am amazed as to how people throughout time continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. It was the reading through of my collection that ultimately led me to the creation of the book “Always Protect Your Behind: A Life Guide for Young Adults or Misguided Old Ones.ver menos
