I had no idea what a computer could do. My firstteacher was Mrs. Cross and I still remember the skillsshe taught me because her lessons were so thoroughand she explained everything in great detail. Now Ilove working with computers and helping others to understandhow to use them.”Gloria Mendoza was working at a dead-end job as areceptionist for an elderly dentist.
