Everyone always talks about how he or she has learned a subject in school and then never used it again. Well, I’ve always been passionate about my education. From the moment I started school, I loved the idea of learning and working hard to succeed in my academics.

It’s hard to dismiss the mastery of designer Louis Comfort Tiffany, but for many years following his death in 1933, it seemed as if the world at large might miss out on some of his most personal works. The contents of his 84-room Long Island estate, Laurelton Hall, were auctioned off in 1946 to pay family debts. In 1957, fire gutted what was left.

As a child of the ’80s and ’90s, I never knew a world without video games. I remember getting the original Nintendo with Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario 2 for Christmas when I was 4 or 5 years old.

I have been with Composure since graduating from Waukesha County Technical College in 2005.
I was a somewhat lazy student. In high school, I did exactly enough to get decent grades. I used art classes to fill the majority of my extra curriculars until graduation. I enjoyed creating but, as far as school was concerned, never more than was absolutely necessary.

Pinterest is the WORST!
Ok, not really… when it’s used properly, it’s just fine.. Pinterest has been around for some time and is a great place for inspiration and instruction. I very often go to Pinterest when searching for information, even before I use Google. Why? There are visuals. I can see what I am looking for. Most anyone will find it useful.
