He is Marlon P. Weaver and is originally from Waterbury, CT. Marlon came to Maine in 1992 as an enrollee in the Penobscot Job Corps program. Being in this state for the past 16 years has given him the opportunity to make some positive strides in life.
Marlon started to write down his thoughts in 2003 while overseas in Kuwait and Iraq. Writing down those thoughts was a way to keep his mind off of the war.
When Marlon returned home to the United States he just continued to write as a theraputive outlet whenever frustrated or drunk.
He chose this course with the expectations that it will help with expressing himself better through writing. Marlon wants to pen the experiences he had overseas and ultimately write a book about them.
A place to say what's on your mind.

I like the little subtle variations here from version to version, but what jumps out at me is that you have a project, a goal, something you really want to write about. That's excellent--my assignments are mostly blank pages the student fills in with his own material, and that's what I want you to do if you want to do it--figure out ways to write about your experiences that also fit my assignment.
By the way, I missed you at Penobscot by a just few years. I taught there from 84-87.
You were at PJC! That's great! You must have done a lot of good there. I gained some great redirection there, truly a positive experience.
Any help that I can get from this class will be appreciated.
I loved PJC, though it chewed people up pretty fast and three years was all I could do. It was the hardest, best job I've ever had. What did you study there?
Things could get raw over there. The instructors "put their time in."
I studied Business Clerical there. When I was finished I just wanted to go back to CT. I realized that at the time there was nothing but trouble waiting for me in CT, so I went to Husson College and continued on the path to good things.
