Summary
I am just like everyone else. Aren't we all just looking for the American dream? I have a work ethic that I am extremely proud of. I am driven. In the several jobs I've had in all different fields, I have learned impeccable multitasking skills. My number one belief when it comes to a employment, is no matter what you do, always be the best at it. As I feel it doesn't really have relevance after 16 years, I was a 17 year old manager at my very first job at none other than McDonald's. I strive to be the best while remembering that humility is a thing that should never be forgotten. I have come to the age in which, as I am willing to start over, I know what I am worth. What I lack in formal education, I more than make up for in work ethic, drive, and just plain old life skills and experience.
