AIT Computer School to get certified in
computer data entry. A determined young lady she was. On
December 10, 1986 she gave birth to her first son. The
following Monday, she returned to class and later
graduated with a 4.0 grade point average. While sharing
her story, Mrs. Mosley paused, then smiled and said, “I
say to my sons and other young people, don’t look at me
where I am now. You don’t know what I went through to
get to this point. I encourage them to become an asset
to the community. .... to be careful and not become a
parent until they are mature emotionally and financially
to make and take care of a family. I do realize that God
makes the final decision.” Leisha’s first husband was a
very good man, she said, but he was a drug addict. The
drug problem was a sickness that needed treatment just
as cancer does. In being the mature, independent adult
she was determined to be, she kept many personal
challenges and hardships she faced to herself. Planning,
and through much effort, working it out as best she
could. Not even her mother knew some of the valleys she
went through. Leisha said she prayed constantly and kept
it between her and God. “I believe in the word”, she
said. “Somewhere in the bible I read that parents are
suppose to leave an inheritance for their children. So
in order to plan for that, I have tried some of
everything, in the line of business,” Leisha said. She
moved back to Jacksonville in 1992, transferring her job
with the Texas Department of Human Services.
She had gotten tax
preparation training and experience working part-time
for a tax preparation company in Dallas. After moving
back, she took additional tax preparation classes and
opened her own tax business in a portable building on
North Bolton in 1993, working it after she got off work
at her regular job. The first year she had 110 clients.
The business grew so fast that eventually she had to
give up the regular job to run it. Now, with the help of
her Mom and Stepdad Arthel Wilcox and her husband
Richard Mosley, she owns her own beautiful and spacious
office building located near the intersection of 69 and
135. Her Mom, Evon Wilcox is the receptionist and office
manager. Her sister Joyce Hinton is employed there as a
tax consultant.
