I’m from a German mother and Irish father and grew up walking around the farm in my diapers with the chickens and family dog (and cat). My mom taught me about all things cooking and gardening and dad on how to be an accomplished handyman. They are both memories now, along with my older sister, Emma. But they saw me graduate with a degree in computer science from Webster University in 2001 at the age of 41. I’m the only one in our family who has earned a college degree. So far I have had a very diverse life filled with art, music, laughter and close family life. I am very motivated most of the time but for those who know Horoscopes, I’m a classic Taurus bull. Love to lie in the Sun with the flowers and green plants. However I can quickly charge ahead in a whirl-wind of creative energy that leaves everyone stunned! My five year plan is to finish fixing up my first house, finish my first screenplay, find the woman of my dreams, produce my first motion picture and have 10 large oil paintings finished. Oh, and get my pilots license and have a hit rock n roll single. My brother Rob and I also have plans setup for if we ever win the lottery. My immediate concern is my health and being able to continue to work to retirement age. I’m not sure how to pay for all of my creative endeavors including saving for retirement and paying off my student loan. Every day I brainstorm and try to come up with other ways to make money than the regular 9-5 standard. It is my wish and hope that those who are philanthropically able can help out with my student loan. It is currently $44,427.03 and interest is accumulating. I’m concerned that I’m not saving enough for retirement and not able to pay the student loan off quickly enough. Paying the loan in full would save me around $20,000 in interest. Thank you for your attention and your donation. ~ William Tonn
