Summary
From before I can remember I always wanted to be of service. While knowing what my goal was I built on to it. I knew I wanted to help people so knowing that I started schooling just for that. While in high school, I started schooling at the Cullman Area Technology Academy to obtain my CNA license. While still in high school and attending CATA I then started Emergency Medical Services at Wallace State Community College. I successfully completed all three programs and by doing so I learned skills that I could take with me for the rest of my life. While doing all these programs I was taught dedication, time management, to be diligent, how to work hard for a goal, how to finish what you start, and also how to give your all to whatever you’re trying to accomplish. I know that learning all of the skills I have helped me to become not only a great worker but also a human being. That is why I will be good at any job I apply to, because I know how to get the job done.
