What brought you to St. Michael Catholic School? Before my arrival at St. Michael Catholic School, I was living in a nearby marsh. I couldn't imagine going through another harsh winter. My skin is scaly enough! My gator friends told me about a school named "Saint Michael Catholic School" who named their team "The Gators" after us. Since everyone raved about your school, I thought I would check it out for myself. The night before I left the marsh, I wrote a letter to Sister Roberta and the students asking for their permission to live at the school. I packed my alligator bags and headed down Cypress Avenue. I waited outside until after lunch, and watched Ms. Jeri and the students practice their basketball skills. They were AMAZING! I guess you could say they were real "intimaGATORS". I snuck in behind the stage and waited until all the students were in the gym. I finally got my nerve up and jumped through the curtain - hoping Sister Roberta and the students would agree to let me live at the school. Everyone was so friendly and hospitable! I was so happy I started to do my "happy dance"! I finally feel like I have a real home and I love my new family! Thank you GATORS for making me feel so welcome.
Work Experience: Before joining the staff at St. Michael, I modeled for a company called Lacoste (formerly known as Izod). I had no idea what I was posing for until I saw my likeness on all those shirts! I wasn't at Lacoste for long, but I think I made a lasting impression. I decided retail wasn't for me when a lot of clothing companies started making belts and shoes from materials that, for some reason, made me very nervous. After that, I moved to the beach and worked at various golf courses up and down the Grand Strand. I tried to make friends with the golfers, but most of them would run from me when I tried to get close enough to give them some friendly advice about their golf swing! Do you know how much it hurt my feelings to constantly hear them say, "Relax Bob, it's not an alligator, it's just a log!" Thank goodness I have tough skin.
Most Memorable Moment: I will never forget how happy I felt when I arrived at Saint Michael Catholic School on October 18, 2006. This is definitely my new home for the next 245 million years.
