Summary

Over all of the jobs that I have worked and the side jobs that I've worked on the weekend, I've learned there is nothing better than having a strong work ethic. Something that I've come to know is that even if you don't know exactly what your doing you need to do it to the best of your ability and ask many questions to ensure you are doing it right.
