Accomplishments

I’ve been able to push myself to learn new things even when it’s very uncomfortable. I bought a car from Georgia never driving manual before and drove it 4 hours back home. From there my interest in cars spiked. Supercharging a 350z has been one of most memorable accomplishments because along the entire way i had no clue what i was getting myself into or if it would really work how I wanted it to but that taught me to get comfortable being uncomfortable because when you’re uncomfortable that’s where’s you grow the most.
