I am an excellent high school student who has always been on the honor roll (above a 3.5 GPA) throughout my first three years of high school and has challenged himself by taking advanced classes and signing up for college level courses. I also have my own business where I mow lawns and have my own customers that I am friendly and talk to. Furthermore, I have experience in a variety of areas as I have bounced around from job to job in order to make money so I can prepare for my future. In these variety of jobs I have repeatedly learned the importance of trust, being on time, working hard, and following directions the first time they are given. While I do work frequently, I also have sports, religion, and friends to also put time into which have made me well-rounded and help me not be lazy, but productive. This year I have made the decision to get a stable job and know that I can be the reliable worker who will do whatever needs done and more to achieve the quality standard I set for myself and to help the business I am a part of be successful.
