Summary
Hard-working, ambitious, and driven by passion and respect regardless of the complexity or type of task. Raised on the principle, "If you truly want something, you have to work for it and earn it." I have never started something and did not finish it. More importantly, I strongly believe in keeping my word out of respect for myself and those I give it to, a value that guides my actions. I aspire to leave a lasting impact and make a respectable name for myself, leaving behind a legacy wherever life takes me.
