Tell us about you: I have 3 kids, Jace 21yrs, whom is finding his "own way" to see whatwill work in life for him. As a parent it takes a lot of patience to watch this happen. Mylips are cracked from all the biting. Alison is 18 and recently graduated from highschool. She is currently enrolled at Riverland in Austin for the fall semester. I don't seetoo much of her being she has this new found freedom that comes along with turning18 and finding the love of her life!! (Most of us know better about that by now...:))Lucas is 12 and the last of my offspring that is by my side. He is very busy with footballthis fall and starting out his junior high career. Basketball will soon follow along withwriting and spelling contests that keep him busy!!! For myself my jobs, school and kidspretty much sums up my life! i am anticipating a very busty fall with papers, tests,clinicals, work, and finishing the remodeling of my home that has been a work inprogress for almost 4yrs!!

Favorite School Memory: My son Jace would have to be my favorite high schoolmemory. I know that this is different from probably everyone else, but without himcoming into my life when he did, i am not sure i would be here at my table able toshare about my life with this group of classmates. Because of him i finished high schoolin 1992 and he has contributed greatly to my accomplishments throughout my life. Theroad traveled has been long, emotionally draining and encountered many negativeevents, but none the less i am the person i am today because of theses pastexperiences. For the good and the bad, Jace would by far have to be the high schoolmemory that is my favorite and is the one that is STILL with me, probably forever:).

Favorite School Memory: While sitting here many memories come to mindeverything from Jolt cola parties, making the "wise" choice to write all over EB'sbasement walls, the Warrant concert, campouts, street dances, and "Em I think we'rein the ditch" but the reality is that there were a lot of great times just riding aroundtalking with good friends listening to music. Definitely my favorite!

Mike Uker Current City & State: Lima, Peru

Job: Chiropractor

Tell us about you: I taught high school math for a few years, then sold real estate for afew more years in Minneapolis. During this time, I purchased many investmentproperties and was running a good business. When the market crashed, my real estatebusiness failed also. During this whole time, though, it just never quite felt like my lifepurpose. In 2008, I went back to school to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. Thisdecision changed my life. Now I get to teach people, currently in Peru, how to changetheir health and change their life using God's laws of health and healing. God has alsoopened doors for me that previously seemed locked and after many years of walking indarkness and without purpose, I finally feel that I am on purpose. It is not withouttrials, though, which always make us stronger, and for which I am very thankful.

My hobbies are going to my children’s activities, reading, quilting,crafting/sewing, watching a great movie, and mingling with people (hence my job atBWW), and of course the exercise program that I'm always going to start next week,but never do... LOL Sitting here today if I could just do one thing for myself, it wouldbe to complete the process and obtain the patent rights on a couple of inventions thatI have thought of, become a self made billion air, then a professional Beach Hopper(Traveler).... One can always dream right????

Favorite School Memory: Wow...Thinking back I don’t really remember much ofschool, except that I was always trying to come up with ways not to be there, or notbeing able to wait till the week end rolled around. I do however remember with vividclarity that we all pinned/rolled the bottom of our jeans, and the higher the bangswere the better we looked....My favorite teacher of all time was Mr. Huesby. Alongwith his kind soul he also reminded me of Kenny Rogers. I often think of him andwonder where he is in life...
