****.******@******.***
I’m a graduate of Canton Illinois High School, I was on the “A&B” honor roll, graduated mid term with 1/2 credit more than I needed.. I went on to a vocational school in the area of “Structural Welding” through Illinois Welding School. I graduated after 12 months with a certification from “AWS American Welding Society.” I continued in my course of learning and became an apprentice at Caterpillar learning the skills of Iron finishing and Shot blasting.. I also was a kitchen assistant manager in Joplin Missouri at a popular seafood restaurant “Turtle Heads” fine seafood and bar… My greatest strengths are.. kindness, love, peace and being a Christian. I have had many challenges in life, but I have worked hard and overcome them. I am thankful for the life God has given me. I am prompt, efficient, confident, punctual, patient, a leader.
I feel that I have a great responsibility in life and that is to make others better than they were before they met me… If I am considered for the job I believe I would be a great addition to the company.
