Without an education, Aaron's search for the perfect job is somewhat limited. Working for a gardener, busing tables at a pizza parlor, serving fast food at a hamburger joint, parking cars all proved to be disappointments. Finally a games arcade peaked his interest. Aaron was fascinated with video machines. But a career required an education and he hadn't even graduated high school.
He decided to talk to Ira about his offer. Ira was thrilled, and extremely supportive. Both he and Michael helped him prepare for his GED test. Aaron sometimes felt he was with Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering, but when he passed his test, it was all worth it.
After exploring various local colleges and universities, Aaron chose The Art Institute in Los Angeles for Video Gaming Design and Programming. Aaron was accepted for Mid Term (with a little help from Ira and Michael). Aaron felt pride and excitement for the first time. He valued the opportunity Ira and Michael made possible.
