Summary
No matter the position or work-field, I try my best to stay pro-active and eagerly prepared to efficiently take care of the job and environment,at least to my best ability. Although I'm not in the position I saw myself 10 years ago, and although I have an aim for a career seeming now, to be as far as the stars, any pursuit that falls into my path will bring joy. I feel that there is no such thing as "wasted time", and that every experience we face is an opportunity to grow along the journey.
