Looking back on myself
as a child, I know I was destined for this career because:
Have you met my dad??
The thing about my job
that challenges me is:
So far, learning RCC
When I’m zoned out in front of my computer and should be thinking about work, what I’m really thinking is:
What my next meal is going to be- I really like to eat.
My career defining
moment:
When I tutored high school students who had failed the graduation exam and then they all passed on their next attempt because of my help! It made me realize that I love the feeling of gratification I get from helping people.
My most unusual job
was:
Carousel attendant at a local mall
The only time I
deserved to be fired was:
When I stole some pine cones out of my sister’s basket and put them in mine.

your job to a four year old?
I use a computer and a phone to help solve people’s problems.
