My Core Values
As I have grown as an adult and moved further towards success in my life, I have always maintained a guided structure to achieve goals and tasks that challenge me. I call these my “Core Values”. This is a strict regimen or a belief system that I have instilled into my everyday practice to complete any task that presents itself. Although not perfected, I have found this method to be quite successful. My work ethic, responsibility, and my drive to further my education and knowledge have never failed me. Life can seem tough and demanding on a very consistent basis, but I believe that I have cultivated a plan to accommodate and withstand any trial

I witnessed both of my parents stress and labor on a daily basis to take care of their children and our home. I sometimes wondered if it was worth it. I often talked with them as I began to get older about the intangibles of their efforts. My father said that in my future I would understand and that I should always be punctual not only for an employer, but for any engagement that I plan or choose to partake in. He stressed that nobody wants to wait. Although patience is a virtue, it is not one that many people possess. Along with my punctuality, diligence, determination, and endurance are a team package that conducts the train of success. Not all tasks are walks in the park. Some require a lot of effort and fortitude. My mother continuously encouraged us as children to finish anything we started. She reinforced this notion with the saying, “quitters never win”! I’m sure you’ve heard of it! I have found this to be extremely true and throughout my life I’ve learned just how satisfying it is to achieve a daunting mission.
