Summary

I’ve always prided myself on my strong work ethic and dedication. I spent a year working in lawn care before deciding to start my own lawn care business, which taught me a lot about responsibility and managing my time. Wanting to grow further, I enrolled in school to become an electrician, and to gain hands-on experience, I reached out to local companies for an apprenticeship. I was fortunate enough to get an opportunity with Bush Electric, where I learned a lot and gained valuable skills. However, I had to leave because I wasn’t getting enough hours. Now, I’m ready to get into a company and actually start working while going to school. I can switch my next semester classes to night classes so I can work full time.
