Summary
I come from a southern household, where faith and community truly mattered. It is from that foundation that I grew my strong work ethic. I would rather struggle in work, and find some value to take away from it and to be perfect in work. I believe struggle helps the mind grow and helps the human person grow stronger. I ask that you help me struggle and gain the ability to learn something great.
