I would go to play soccer with friends in a local park. At that same time there was a coaching teaching soccer to kids under 10. The coach saw me and my friends playing and asked if we wanted to play with the kids, and we joined. And from then on we came back every time we could and he would let us teach with him, and the kids were happy to let us in their training.

I started working on cars in my uncle shop in the end of my 6th grade year. He would pay me a small amount because I was learning, so I mostly worked on cleaning and throwing the trash. But as time went in I saw what the other workers did and learned through what I saw. I started to include myself with the workers cars, and would ask to help and as I helped they would tell me what I would do wrong and tell me how to spot the problem. I started to work on actual car, then I was learning and getting paid, but here I learned how having a job was like. I worked after school when I could from 5-11pm and weekends I worked 7am-5pm. I still go work sometimes with my uncle when he needs help or when Im available.
