UNIT 4 I.P
My life growing up was rough and very hard, going from school to school and from nice home to the projects. Getting bullied was an everyday thing in school and on the streets just about every day. From elementary to middle school, I was picked on. When I got to high school, a lot of things changed. But still I was moving from school to school. Then we moved once again to a new city and a new school. A new school and city brought new problems; a new face was always a victim to other people. So I joined a gang and became a follower to a leader. People stopped messing with me and left me alone. Then I started to get into trouble, which landed me in county jail for 18 months. After my release I started to think more about my future and what’s to come of me if I continue doing wrong instead of doing the right thing. So I finished school and joined the work force to stay out of trouble and keep busy.
My past was no more and I was looking at the bigger picture of my future. 2000 I moved back to my home and got a better job. My job resume was looking pretty good from soldiering circuit boards, landscaping, cooking, stocking stores, washing and detailing cars, inventory many stores, loading and unloading trucks, moving company, janitorial, bouncer/ bar back, promoter, manager, owner, music maker, graphic designer, videographer, event planner, and so forth. I had many good skills to help me in my professional skills and other job searches. But I was still having a few issues on finding a job. Some told me that I was over qualified for a job. But I kept on pushing. So I also enrolled in to a school to further my education. I
