This family of people from countless backgrounds has taught me the importance of working with others and has given me a strong work ethic and a pride in what I do.
In a matter of years, and the decades that follow, I plan to not only have a job as an average, but skillful welder, wherever that may take me, but also to eventually have my own business that allows me to enjoy what I do everyday. I will sell sculptures and other forms of artistic expression, using what I have and will learn of welding to further my creative passion. With the help of my teachers and plenty of hard work, I should be more than prepared to meet my goals once I graduate from high
