Dad didn't complete high school. He started working in the mine when he was young, like his father and brother and his friends. My mom graduated from high school and worked as a secretary for an insurance office for years.

My parents always wanted me to get good grades so that I could get into whatever college or university I wanted to go to. When I said I wanted to go into mining, dad was happy for me. He knows it's a good industry to be in. And if you have education, you have more job stability and financial security in this industry.
