James has been hard working since leaving high school. He worked eight years in mental health and then moved on to nursing school. It was during this three year period that he had to rise above the level of parenthood. He had two children, two step children and somehow managed to work full time, go to college full time, and raise his children with the help of his wife of course. Not only did he graduate nursing school, he did it with honors from The National Deans List and an honorary membership in Phi Theta Kappa. On top of that he was offered many opportunities to start pre-med and med school. He declined med school but has since then worked as a Hospice nurse and just recently became the administrator of a local adult home. Through all of this he had one more precious child, all passing school, all behaving, and all of that from a father who had little time to do it. That's why I am nominating James Benware.
