Summary
Have been working since 10, would cut lawns in the neighborhood. Would have a schedule for everyone and would charge according to volume of grass. Im not afraid of hard work as i grew up in a hispanic household and oldest of 3. My father is an electrician who taught me everything he knows, he always taught me that work isn't easy, and working hard always pays off. I took his advice and brought it with me to every job i had and i would always be one of the best workers each employer had as i worked hard every task i had to do.
