STORY OF STUDENT PC'S
During these past nine years, Dwight continues to challenge himself; he started with tearing apart old computers, learning a few of the basics and compatibilities. Then he began putting them back together and making them work. Dwight found a stimulating hobby of rebuilding computers. Though he can’t compete in the market making him a desirable commodity for employment, he has found that there are a number of children who would benefit from his efforts.
In coming across a low income family with a disabled child, Dwight talked with the parents and explained how he has redeveloped himself into being able to accomplish higher level of task and that this might help the family’s child in life with the possibility of building some kind of future for himself.
The family, after talking to their doctors and councilors, contacted Dwight about using one of the computers he had rebuilt. The rest is history, thus the beginning of Student Pc’s
Dwight lives the simple life in the country. He has to be careful with finances in order to continue his hobby and personal therapy that in turn has aided as many as 1,200 disabled and low-income children, some as far away as Nevada.
He started out driving a 1976 ford van that has now been retired. He has personally delivered the majority of these computers to those who would benefit. He now delivers out of a 1987 Ford Escort that fast approaching retirement. We would like to be able to replace the Escort with a newer truck or van.
The 1987 Ford Escort has now been retired.
A mini van has been donated to Student PC's From Norris Northup of Gaillipolis Ohio. Which has been retired.
The van is a 1995 Plymouth Voyager, We would like to Thank Mike Northup for the donation and Thank Jamie Adamson for arangeing the donation.
Thank you from Dwight D Ross and staff of Student PC's
The founder of STUDENT PC's
While aiding a long time friend with his farm in September 1996, Dwight received a permanent disabling head injury; he was forced into ending his teaching career.
As with many head injuries, Dwight was not spared the complications of impending strokes. The first one set in two weeks after his injury.
Through self-determination and perseverance and moral support of family and friends, his recovery can only be said as limited; thousands of hours were spent on redeveloping motor and higher functional skills.
