======Introduction======
My name is John Rine. I have four children: Erica, David, Gretchen, and Nathan. I also have <html><strike style='color:red'>three</strike><span style='color:red'> four </span></html> grandchildren: Victor jr., Lilianna, Daniela, and <html> <span style='color:red'>Gabriel</span></html>!

On August 6, 2009, the anniversary of the dropping of the A bomb on Hiroshima, I was separated from the company where I worked for 12 years. Since I was unemployed, I found that I qualified for educational benefits and enrolled for the Fall semester 2009 at Corning Community College. In December 2010, I graduated with an A.A.S. in Electrical Technology-Electronics and a A.S. in LAS General Studies program each with a 3.85 accumulated GPA. At the same time I have been enrolled in the IT-HPC and Computer Science programs. Since graduating from the Electrical Technology program, however, I have been seeking employment as being unemployed has taken a heavy toll on my family's financial situation. On July 15, 2011, I was hired as a Process Technician at Corning, Incorporated's Sullivan Park Research and Development facility. This semester will be interesting. I will be employed full time and attempt a full course load. I can, however, see the light at the end of the tunnel as this is my last semester. If I am successful, I will graduate with an A.A.S. in IT-HPC and a A.S. in Computer Science.
