Summary
I worked as a plumbing helper, supporting licensed plumbers and gaining hands-on experience with pipes, drainage, excavation, and tools. Now I want to take the next step and officially grow into an apprentice role. My goal is to keep learning every day and, with time, take on more responsibility and build a stable career in the plumbing trade.
