Summary
I work hard, value honesty and respect, and have had a drive to work ever since I was a kid, walking around my neighborhood offering to do services, such as pull weeds, clean up sticks, wash cars, etc, and it only got stronger as I grew up. I am very open to new oppurtunities and have a drive to learn new skills and trades.
