I play video games. I am a teacher. I teach science. I live in New York City.
I am married. I have a daughter and grandchildren. I own a custom upholstery shop. I used to teach English. We have visited New York City. We were mugged and my husband was stabbed.
What led you to change careers from English teacher to upholstery? It was a hobby of mine and when I was given the chance to actually own a shop I took it and I've never looked back.  Do you ever wish you could do anything ther than teaching science? Seems like you have made a right choice. Well I really like it but I wish I could play video games and get paid. Professional gamers seem to earn a lot of money and enjoy their job I don't know anything about video games.  My grandchildren play a game called Fortnite and I have seen things on the news about that game and a man named Ninja that was really popular.  Have you ever tried to get into that career?  I don't know how reliable it is. I have never tried but even if I did, I don't thing I would succeed. Competition is just too harsh and I am not good enough so I will just stick to my job Do you at least enjoy your job?  Sometimes keeping your hobbies seperate is better in the long run.  Speaking of video games though, my grandson is turning 12 next week, would you have any game recommendations for a gift? Yes I do enjoy it! Hmm there are plenty of videogames but I would recommend something that is suitable for him. Don't buy him videogames which include violence and strong language Yes of course I'd get him something appropriate, but I thought you might know of popular titles that would be suitable.  I'm too old for all that stuff and just wanted to be sure to not disappoint. Well there is one videogame called Need for Speed which I really enjoyed. It is car racing game and I think your grandson would enjoy it! He did used to really like hot wheels so I will have to check that one out, thank you.  So, have you had anything going on in life lately? Not really, it is quite boring. What about you? How is your upholstery shop going? Maybe I could visit it and buy something Life has been quiet and I've been enjoying that.  Business has slowed down a little in the winter months because people just don't want to leave their houses and I can't blame them.  The snow has been awful this year here in Ohio.  How has the weather been in NYC?
