Because. I obtained a skill with the knowledge of working with horses while going camping with the YMCA an activity offered by the YMCA in Canton, Ohio area. I enjoyed working with the horses, fell in love with learning the skills in my early elementary-teenage years. With the develped skills and the love for horses I was able to utilize this skill as an adult in my 20's when faced with a job transition. I was employed with the Four Seasons Hotel & Resort "home of the Byron Nelson" in a management position. Although, I was exposed to YWCA, Brownie's, Girl Scouts etc...more on this topic to come.
