It’s been such an exciting journey since I started toiling.

Many people find it weird that I get happy about going to work.

But, I feel you have to know my story to understand why it’s such a large deal. In private school, I was rebellious plus fell in with the wrong crowd. We’d skip school, do silly things, and we also began using drugs. It wasn’t long until I was addicted plus got into all sorts of mischief. My mom did her best to help me out, but I got worse. One time, we tried to cut into this shop to raid the register. We got caught. Since I was only 17, I found myself in a juvenile detention center. I felt so low, but this was also a cut plus I managed to get sober. Mom came in to visit one time plus said she was giving me one opening to get my life in order or she never wanted to see me again. That was my wake up call, plus a year plus a half later, I went back to finish private school. After graduating, I opted to go to trade school plus train to become a HVAC professional. There was a counselor at the juvenile detention center that helped me learn about the weird trades since I wasn’t interested in school. HVAC work sounded awesome, so I opted to go to a trade school near home. I’d work at the local shops in the evening plus go to work during the day to help mom cover the costs of school. After I got my certification, I got an apprenticeship with a local business. I have been in training to become a professional in our area. I’m always so grateful to go to work each morning.
