Parents, Teachers, Students Switch Places

November 20, 2009

Brooke High School’s observance of American Education Week offered an opportunity for teachers, students and parents to switch places and for several area professionals to share life lessons with the school’s teens. Classes were visited Wednesday by Follansbee accountants Michael DiDomenico and Deborah Puskarich, Tom Miller, banking center manager for WesBanco and a former radio and television announcer; and Weirton attorney Michael Simon. DiDomenico encouraged students in Jane Utz’ business law class to seek out individuals in fields in which they are interested. “If you want to get somewhere, ask somebody who’s been there,” he advised. DiDomenico also encouraged them to work hard in all of their courses. He made the mistake of striving for As only in the courses in his major, he said, and learned that potential employers consider an applicant’s overall academic record. “They need to know you have the ability to learn because they know some training will be required if you’re hired,” DiDomenico said. DiDomenico said his decision to become a certified public accountant and a self-employed one helped to change his future. He noted that many dream of going into business for themselves but don’t realize the work and responsibilities involved. While he has had the freedom to leave his office early for an afternoon of golf, he also has worked through the night on many occasions to meet the needs of his clients, he said.
