She read my poem about teenage life to the class and they enjoyed it, and I knew then that God had blessed me to share my heart. Later in life I had the opportunity to become a trucker, which fit me well because I knew, during my downtime I could keep on writing; so I did, because I just knew, one day it would all work out if I didn't give up.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn 1976 I began hauling furniture, potato chips, and I shuttled trucks. Then from 1985 until 2007 I drove for Walmart stores and from 2007 until 2022 I worked for the Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) Transportation department. As a Program Specialist I taught students how to drive the big trucks, and from 2022 to the present I continue to work as a C.D.L. tester with DMACC. One thing I tell myself every day I teach students: \"Everybody had a first day, and everybody was new once.\" That keeps me grounded and to this day I continue to write because I still want to share my heart to bring hope, peace, and love to those who need it the most.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 236\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 16, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67549064495353,"sku":"9781683151128","price":25.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/xKYZXLDwxh9781683151128.webp?v=1793404240","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/eternal-rose-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
