I am currently enrolled in Junior College with year round classes. I'm hoping employment will make my time more valuable over all, as to help me stay on track with life's duties. I'm motivated to please anyone who gives me an opportunity and assure them that they made the correct choice.

Gardening: My family has a small flower business that stems from my grandmothers love for gardening. This venture also had an effect on me and I have my own gardening bed where i grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs to use in my cooking. I liked gardening as it showed that caring for something, can provide fruits which is symbolic to life.

Recreational Basketball and Weight lifting: I have always been an athlete my whole life, Playing in organized sports since about the age of 9 to my sophomore year in High School. Once leaving athletics behind, I noticed that certain aspects of my physical and mental health declined. Once I decided to get back into it, I lost much weight and started to think more positively. Being active is the norm for me now as I don't feel right not getting active often. I love basketball as i have built bonds with the other students who attend my schools basketball gym. Wether they are my teammates, or my opponent, we all focus on getting better and we have fun in doing so.

Cooking; I have always love to cook, starting a young age. This goes into tandem with my gardening as I love to use the produce from my garden in my culinary ventures.
