He then moved into a house in Coburg where he spent about 8 years in, he then moved to a house in Rocks-burg park where he spent another 8 years in. When Charbel got married to a woman named Josie, he moved into a small house in Lalor, he was 29 at the time, and 7 years later they decided to build a new house because they had, had 2 kids and the house was getting cramped. …show more content…
They then moved to a house in Wollert, he was 36 at the time when they moved.
Charbel has accomplished many things, like his bucket list for example, which is getting married or travelling through Europe, having kids. He has also had minor accomplishments like being a captain for the AFL team in primary school.
Child Hood
After Charbel was born, his parents, Camille and Gizelle cared for him just like they did with his older brother Danny who was born on the 15th of June 1979. Two years after Charbel was born his brother Dorry was born on the 14th of August 1982 and then, seven years later, his sister Joanne was born on the 20th of January 1989. He was born into a Lebanese family with a Maronite catholic religion. Although he didn’t practice his religion he still strongly believes in it. When Charbel became of age he went to primary school at Sacred Heart in Preston. During those years he had four main friends, their names were Chris, Dean, George and Peter. He only remembers a few of his teacher’s names which were Miss Bacash, Mr Stevens and Mrs George. Fortunately, he was not bullied in school. He claims that some of the main highlights throughout those years was being the AFL football captain in year 5 and 6, and going to Lebanon in army clothes. Before they left his …show more content…
parents bought him the Lebanese army clothes and he wore them on the plane and when they got there. In the next chapter of his life Charbel started secondary school at Redden College also in Preston. When he went he only had one friend with him, George. But he made a lot more friends named Phil, Dennis, Andrew and Ricky. He only remembers a few of his teacher’s names which were Mr Stella, Mr Desilver, Miss Muncherro. During those years he was also not bullied. He says that his main highlights throughout those years was playing billiards during school lunch breaks, being a part of the cricket and football squads, and having their favourite roll from the MTV café in Preston. The roll consisted of hot potato chips with tomato sauce in a freshly baked roll. Once he finished secondary school he decided to attend the Victorian University in St Albans. He was studying bachelor of business in commercial law. His hobbies during those years were AFL football, Cricket and playing computer games. Although AFL was his favourite sport he never pursued it into playing at a club.
Jobs
Throughout his whole work life Charbel has worked at the Melbourne Seafood and Oyster Restaurant, he did cleaning, worked at Dan Murphey’s, Office Works, di Job Recruitment, Radio Terminal Systems and Sato GS1 (supply chain and logistics standards). His first job was at the Melbourne Seafood and Oyster Restaurant as a kitchen hand. His current job is Sato GS1, which he has been doing for five years. His role in the company is as a senior advisor, customer engagement, trade, transport and heavy industry. The job does involve traveling to places like Western Australia, Queensland, Tasmania, New South Wales and South Australia. The amount of time he usually stays for about three to five days. Charbel says that he is happy with his job because of the excellent environment to work in, great management support and the exceptional employee benefits. Growing up he didn’t initially want to be what he is doing today, as a child his dream job to be a solicitor/lawyer. Although he is happy with his current job his dream job now is to be a property manager or a sport player agent. The reason for being a property manager is because he has an interest in property development and the reason for being a player agent is because he has an interest in sports particularly AFL and wants to help get the best contract deal for players. He hasn’t pursued his current dream jobs because he would have to go back to university which he doesn’t have time for due to work and family commitment.
Relationships
Throughout his whole life Charbel has had two serious relationships. Their names are Sam Mikale and Josie Catania. He met Josie because they were neighbours and because they went to the same university. A few years later he was married to Josie on the 1st of March 2008. Which means their ten-year anniversary was just recently.
Family
Four years later their first children were born, twins. They were born on the 31st of August 2011 and their names are Julien and Arianna. They also have another child named Sienna who was born on the 26th of September. His current fears for them are quite simple but very understandable, they are gambling and drugs which can be quite relatable based on our society these days. He has also got his nieces and nephews who are Alissia Bortolin, Arelia Catania, Cristian Bortolin, Gabriel Bortolin and Lucius Catania. His brother in laws and sister in laws are Phillip, Bortolin Joe Catania, Carmela Bortolin and Stephanie Catania.
Accomplishments, Regrets & More Information
Charbel’s main life goals, to have a happy family, a successful career and to be independently wealthy.
He claims that he has accomplished two out of three of those goals, a happy family and a successful career. Charbel, like most people has a bucket list, he says that the main things on that bucket list are to have a white Christmas (Christmas with snow), a trip to Disney land, retirement before too old to enjoy, a trip to Las Vegas, a trip to Paris, to get married and to travel through Europe. So far, he has accomplished three, he has been to Paris, has gotten married and has travelled through Europe. He, like most of us, would take the opportunity to go back in time to change something. He says that he wouldn’t have sold the houses that he used to own (eg. a past family members house). He says that he would change that because it would have helped him to reach one of his life goals, to be independently wealthy. Charbel’s current favourite hobbies are AFL, golf and classic cars. When he was asked what his biggest fear was he said that is was harm to family. His fear from when he was younger was a flash of light (like a camera flash). The reason for this is because when he was younger he had, had a lot of operations, particularly on the lungs and nose. Sometimes he would see the bright lights in the operating theatre. So, whenever he would take photos the bright light would remind him of the operating theatre and he would get scared and would run away. Charbel is one of the
many people that must wear prescription glasses, the reason is because he has oval shaped eyeballs and therefore his lenses in his eyeball don’t reflect light as a normal eye does.
Conclusion
For a 38-year-old Charbel has experienced so much and has still got his whole life ahead of him. He has completed most of all his life goals, and is close to completing the rest. Charbel has completed nearly everything on his bucket list, he should probably start thinking of some new things to put on it. In the future he might end up following one of his dream jobs, most likely a Property Manager. If there is one thing for sure Charbel will always have his family and friends to support him in whatever he decides to do in the future.
