Additional Information
Have had a rough past but have been setting my life straight over the past few years. And I am just asking for the opportunity to show how reliable and hard working and trustworthy of a person that I am. I have done so much to change my life around and have tried to give back and pay it forward and when I have free time I volunteer to help young men to stay out trouble and lend my voice to them and inform them that they can do so much more with their lives. I am a hard worker and will give my best and I always try to do my best work. I am always wanting to learn and can take criticism and apply to myself what needs to improved.
