As a Medical Biller, I Really Help Solve Problems – James W
For anyone who doesn’t know, growing up in the South Bronx ain’t easy. Me and my dad worked hard for my two little sisters but since he didn’t go to college, the chances of me getting there weren’t too good, especially since he needed me to help take care of our girls. Dad always kept our bellies full and our clothes clean but he was not around that much because working as a security guard kept him away from us. That was a good life for him, he always had good stories to make us laugh and wore a keystone cop outfit most of the time. But I wanted to see how I could make money and really help my family. My sisters really enjoyed school, always got good grades, and needed me to show them that maybe they could get more out of life.
After I graduated high school, I started working as a janitor, helping the super in my building. He got very sick so I got his job full time. The pay was weekly and in cash, I didn’t have to ride the subway to get to work, and I was always around for the family, I felt I was working too hard and not getting paid. After walking my sisters to school one day, I stopped at the library and noticed that there were a few computers free. I always had dreams of working in Manhattan and wearing nice clothes to work. I always saw myself as someone could solve problems because of how I helped my dad with my sisters and I always maintained good relationships with our relatives. I saw this cute girl sitting at a computer and saw her looking at the www.manhattaninstitute.com website. Wanting to impress her, I got on a computer and checked it out. Of all the classes being offered, I thought the medical biller would be the job for me. This would be my chance to work in an office, talk to new people, and get paid. I get the doctors paid by handling the insurance companies and the doctors pay me.
I got so excited about making the choice to start a new career that I didn’t see the girl when she left, if she had stayed I would have thanked her for letting me look over her shoulder. After my three week training at www.manhattaninstitute.com I was prepared and ready to start looking for a new job. After about a month, I was interviewed for a position in a dental office in midtown, not far from my school. This is so much better than working as a super and my sisters enjoy helping me pick out a nice tie to wear to work each morning. Our family life is changing and I enjoy my new career.
