Retiree: Arnel Oczon, is a retired professional who has volunteered with ABQ Reads for the last three years and says, "I want to give back to the community. I was fortunate to be in a good profession mainly due to a good education. I was pretty much disinterested until the 4th grade, and somehow I got the right teacher to jump start me. It's important for me to help struggling students, since I was in that situation.
