MY SON WORKS FOR THE IRS

                   MY SON WORKS FOR THE INTERNAL REVENUE                                        

                               

        My son, Scott Wallace, works for the IRS. Scott has taught me all I know about the IRS and then some. His working toward his Accounting Degree began  when he was attending Ogden High School  in Ogden, Utah. He started working at the IRS Western Center on 12th Street  when he was sixteen years old. He was attending Ogden High School and was on the honor roll. At the same time he was attending Weber University. His BS in accounting from Weber University was received while living in a duplex on Eccles Avenue.

                           I noticed how well Scott was liked by the people at the IRS when he was 
                         attending Weber University. Part of his daily curriculum was to work around      
                         young people with disabilities.  When he would arrive at work, the young
                         disabled individuals would be  waiting outside the building to say “good 
                          morning.”            
                               

      He was the fastest typist at Grandview Elementary. One fine day his typing teacher  called my house and told my wife Joelene how much she enjoyed having him in her class. That happened not once but often. He was only only twelve. "She must have a crush on him, I thought," which produced a  very high concentration of heat at our house. It was  much-like a magnifying glass, only it’s a reverse curve.  “Let his typing teacher call our house every other day I told my wife, go  ahead let him take type, see if I care.  I’m not buying him a typewriter to practice on.” This actually was the period in time when Scott blossomed into success. It was also the time when he became a future Eagle scout and the moment he used to generate usable solar energy. Furthermore, it was the moment he became a future Eagle Scout,and a champion football offensive end for the South Ogden Wasatch Front Little league football team.

     Shortly after the typing experience, he got a job with the IRS and the rest is history. He  graduated at the age of twenty-six from Weber, as he was steam rolling on the road system at the IRS to presently be a GS 15 division manager working out of Washington D.C. 

                                                                     Credits                                                          *He went on to win the Ogden High School Science ir Award and received the first place blue ribbon award. He began entry level opening mail full time, while working on his high school college degree and part time at Sills Café in Layton.

*He was made a permanent full-time employee after a three-month trial period at the IRS. Given a step grade raise to a 6, he moved to the sorting mail department, never side stepping. Scott caught the eyes of several departments’ managers as a person well liked.      To be continued ...
