After an automobile accident several years ago, Jack wondered if he would
ever work again. He was trained as a licensed electrician and worked in
the field for five years. Since his accident, Jack's hands shake which
make fine motor skills difficult. Over the past five years, Jack has
worked in the restaurant and retail industries. While these jobs were okay
with Jack, he truly enjoys working with people. He did not want to work
behind the scenes in a restaurant or retail store.
Today, Jack is working at the United Artist Theatres in Chesterfield,
Virginia. He has worked for just over a month and is thoroughly enjoying
the experience. Jack is responsible for taking tickets, giving directions
to each theater as well as greeting each customer, which matches his
personality perfectly.
"Since I began working, my days feel like they are rewarding. I don't
sit at home all day watching television and becoming depressed. Work has
filled a huge void in my life."
