I have been eligible to work for the last two years, however I have directed all my effort since then on graduating high school early. These endeavors have been successful, and I managed to graduate at the age of 16. Now, my goal is to save up as much money as possible so I can live comfortably when I move out.

As a former softball player of almost 10 years, I have quite the experience with teamwork. In team sports, you are required to make your goals and achievements a collective of the entire team, not just something for yourself. This allowed me to get along with people who I would have otherwise not been compatible with, as well as allowing me and those on my team to develop the teamwork skills we needed to make it to Nationals when I was 12 years old.

I have also had a goal since middle school of graduating high school at the age of 16. This required a tedious amount of time management and responsibility skills, and the life lessons that that work taught me will stick with me for the rest of my life. That remains the biggest example in my life of hard work truly paying off.
