Samuel R. Lewis & Associates, Inc., Consulting Engineers at 777 Busse Road in Park Ridge, Illinois USA

Samuel R. Lewis & Associates, Inc. Consulting Electrical, Mechanical, and Plumbing Engineers formerly on Wells Street, Chicago, now relocated to 777 Busse Road in Park Ridge, Illinois and Wisconsin, USA
During May 1977, I graduated from Madonna High School, with the National Honor Society, ten percent upper percentile in the Class of 1977, for the Catholic High School for Women formerly located at the corner of Belmont Avenue and Karlov Street, on the Northwest side of Chicago, Illinois. Catholic Sister Rosemarie was my career counselor and referred me for employment at Samuel R. Lewis & Associates, Inc., Consulting Electrical, Mechanical, and Plumbing Engineers on the 9^th floor of a brownstone building directly across the Merchandise Mart on Wells Street, by the Chicago River Bridge near Wacker Drive, downtown Chicago, Illinois, USA. I was interviewed by the President of the company, Joseph Pelletier, who was looking for a draughtsman to assist him hand-drawing architectural floor plans for electrical, mechanical, and plumbing construction and specifications. I was hired to work for the Summer of 1977, after graduation from Madonna High School, upon recommendation from the Art Teacher Sister Sponsa and Sister Rosemarie, the career counselor. I started working for Engineer Jack Pelletier as a Draughstman, earning the lowest salary in the office, at the rate of $5.25 an hour, without any health care benefits, pension benefits, or educational benefits either. In retrospect, I worked at Samuel R. Lewis during five (5) years, summers to save for personal expenses, during my college years at Northeastern Illinois University—from 1977 through 1982.

Faculty Service for the Community Colleges of Illinois

Foreign language skills in English, French, and Spanish hired me to work as a Foreign Language Teacher at the Community High School District 218 during 1988-1989, teaching French and Spanish at the Alan B. Shepard High School with an annual salary of $23,778.

Bilingual aptitude in English and Spanish opened the door for me to work as Faculty at St. Augustine University in Chicago where I was teaching English as a Second Language, College Prep and Developmental Skills, U.S. Citzenship for the Amnesty Program, Research Writing and other language development courses which included preparation for High School General Education Development.

Afterwards, I also worked as Faculty for Oakton Community College in the Continuing Education Program, Alliance for Lifelong Learning in Skokie, Illinois. I was teaching English as a Second Language from August 1992 until March 1993.

From September 18, 1997 through October 8, 2001, I was employed as Faculty at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn and Lombard, teaching English Writing Development, English 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105, on campus, as well as commuting to teach Spanish for Healthcare Professionals at Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, National Chiropractic College in Lombard, also known as National University for Health Sciences, and at Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, Illinois.

In addition, I taught French and Spanish for Berlitz Schools of Languages in Chicago, Hinsdale, Oak Brook Brook Forest and York Middle School, and Schaumburg, Illinois, U.S.A. Foreign language teaching experience at Inlingua Schools of Languages also included commuting to teach on-site visiting corporate clients, and other travelling students at home. Arroyave Academy of Languages in Highland Park and Arlington Heights also provided teaching work for corporate clients which included translation for the General Learning Corporation in Northbrook, Caremark, Abbot Laboratories, Baxter International and other global companies promoting languages around the world.
