Summary
I am in essence a paradox. I have for all my life performed manuel labor, but I am at heart a lover of literature and I am an amateur poet. The last eleven years of my life I have been a chicken farmer. Chicken farming requires sacrifice, discipline and hard work. I think these qualities exemplify a teacher. While farming chickens I also became active in coaching my sons recreational teams. This teaching of young men resonated with me and is the impetus for me pursuing this opening.
