Summary
I am a hard-working and reliable individual with a strong work ethic. My core values consist of honesty, motivation, dedication, and integrity. I am a highly-motivated person who likes to take on new challenges, and I am someone who is committed to doing what they love. "Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life." I have a very strong belief in this statement. I was in college for 3 years and studied to obtain my teaching degree. I was also and athlete and played sports my whole life. Through these experiences, I learned the importance of dedication, a hard working attitude, and the importance of being a effective team player. What I learned carried over into my everyday life and it is what shaped me into the person I am today. I am a very receptive and teachable person, and I have a strong desire to learn more. Understanding that not having all the answers is not a bad thing, because it strengthens the urge to learn something new and to accomplish more. I always try and leave with something new that I did not know yesterday.
