Dominic Michael Lusk, is an Afro-American and was given birth on April, 1st, in the year 1962 in Texas. Dominic Lusk was born 1000 days after his elder sister (Lynda) but two years ahead of his younger sibling (Richard) in Texas. Most of his young years was spent in total ignorance to the great African - American civil rights motion which gripped the complete countey; a which was responsible for him and his fellow men to run their lives with respect and independence. His archetypal Afro – American parenting had been stern, disciplinarian and yet, complete with love and affection. His parents did not have the luxury of education and were employed as unskilled laborers; that did not permit a good life style but they made sure that their young ones were never denied of any of their basic necessities. The importance of education was not missed by Dominic’s parents and they did every thing possible to enable all their children to go to school.
Dominic was an above average student and still takes joy from the fact that he was better than his sister and brother at studies. In the year 1975, Dominic’s father wanted to enter his brother’s business and the Lusk family shifted to Kansas City, because of this. Dominic persued with his studies in Dominic Lusk Kansas City and at the same time, started to assist his father and uncle in their milk supply business. His adolescence was as regularly common, as his childhood was. Dominic by now was well acquainted with his culture and happy for the relative freedom that his people enjoyed. Dominic Lusk's greatestforemost influence at this age was not Martin Luther King but surprisingly, an African American fire fighter by the name Robert Lowery, who became the first black fire commissioner in the nation. Dominic nursed a wish to become a fire fighter like his role model. When he passed out of school with decent marks, he expressed this desire to his parents and also informed them that he had no intention to pursue bigger Studies. His parents had to unwillingly abide to this and Dominic promptly joined the fire service of Dominic Lusk Kansas City to live his fantasy.
As the years passed by, Dominic’s appeal and attractiveness for fire fighting slowly lessened as he found out that the fire fighter’s job was difficult, demanding and thankless; which demanded big hours and extremely little benefits. His lack of higher education also limited his opportunities to move up the work ladder. But, he had a steady job that paid well. In 1986, he married Nancy (who is his distant relative from his mother’s side), after a romance of almost 700 days. Their son William was born in the year 1988 and that is when Dominic realized that he had to finish higher studies to earn more for his family. He took up private studies and since he had always been a decent student, he was able to finish his graduation within four years. Just before his graduation, Dominic was given an opportunity to transition to the administrative division in the fire service department. He happily moved and still enjoys to work there till date. The years between 1993 and 2003 were uneventful career wise but was full of anguish personally. His father died in 1994, his mother expired in 1998 and his wife left this abode in 2003. What a painful span of 10 years!
Dominic Lusk chose not to marry again after his wife’s death and opted to be a single parent to his son. William is 20 years old today and is on the verge of finishing his graduation. Dominic’s commitments towards his family are almost done and he now is looking ahead to the day when he can live for for his own enjoyment; he wants to start his carefree childhood all over again!
