Personal Notes:
I feel it is significant and important to add a little something that lets you know
who I am on a more personal level. I take great pride in my work and my ability to
perform my duties. My work to me is like my word. It’s something that defines me as a
person. It shows who I am and what kind of morals and standards I live by. I have never
been the type to give up on a challenge. If something is expect of me I like to strive to
excel beyond that. I am competitive and like to get stuff done. I don’t dwell in the
problem. I’ll find a solution and fix it. I am forever learning and adapting new methods,
or simply making old ones more efficient. I am very hardworking. I have always tried to
work harder than anyone else. To always be the best. These ethics engraved in me from
my parents have come to a culmination of experiences. And I hope many great
opportunities as well.
