Summary
Ever since I was a child, I have enjoyed creating and watching a project start from nothing but miscellaneous items to something functional or decorative. As I grew up, I began to acquire skills that allowed me to tackle various other projects I would have never dreamed of as a child, whether it be for my local community or something around the house, it never failed to deliver that same sense of joy and pride knowing my hands created something unique. I plan to pursue a career in the construction industry, working on large-scale projects that will provide me satisfaction and make my job more enjoyable and rewarding.
