I call my self 'Simi Valley Jeff' because, first of all, My name is Jeff and that's the town in Southern California where I was raised as a young person. A town half way between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara; it is much closer to North East Los Angeles than to Santa Barbara, however. A town that, while growing up there, I always wanted to flee from. Why you may ask? Because it was an isolated valley surrounded by mountains that you could only escape from with a car( as a child and teenager, I couldn't do so yet I did everyday of my life while leiving there).It had no real malls when (It has many now), and only one movie theater for years (It has two). In any case to me it represented one thing and one clear thing only - excruciating Boredom
Well, I am glad to report that I am no longer bord. I now live in the Middle East as an English teacher and part-time aid for the elderly (I have been doing this work for four years now). I love what I do in both jobs and feel like I am in doing something meaningful and am helping others. I want to get to know other Steemians and to learn what both motivates and what interests them as well. I love creative writing, International politics and have an acute interest in human welfare. So, I am reaching out to every one in this new community to reach out to me. I don't know how to upload photos or images to my posts yet so please be understanding.
