Bio

My goal is to become the first in my family's generation to graduate from trade school as a certified electrician. My goals are to become successful in my Electrician Career and earn enough to build a family and give back to my community. A little about myself, I am a 27-year-old courageous woman who lives in Southern New Jersey. I am Delsea Regional graduate with a GPA of 3.7. I've been invited to be part of the Nation Honors Society back in 2014 and have been a member since 2023. I am passionate about giving, supporting, and making a change. I support my local church by joining in food and clothing drives and giving funds to those overseas in Missionary work. One day, I will open up a small business, to help install electrical devices and renovate homes for families starting a new chapter. I am a perfect candidate because, I will one day be part of or play a big role in an organization that will help improve living and working; by providing fast, easy, and reliable electrical devices, machines, and connections throughout the world. I want to help my country become the future we see in movies and on television today.

Trades Make the World Go 'Round
He flew a kite during a thunderstorm. He tied a metal key to the kite string to conduct the electricity. And just as he though, electricity from the storm clouds transferred to the kite and electricity flowed down the string and gave him a shock. (Source: www.wonderopolis.ord) That was a short piece of evidence of what was taken place back in 1712 of Ben Franklin, who discovered electricity and changed the whole world today. Electricity is a vital part of me and my family's lives. Imagine a world without it. Would you still be able to function the way we do today? It never dawned on me until the day I went to work with my dad one summer off a school. Someone's house was being newly build, and I remember the day my dads job was to run a bunch of wires inside. As a kid at the time, I never knew what any tool or wire was used for, but all I knew was that each part of my dad's job was very important. One wrong move and it can cause a lot of damage or even no electricity. That moment he stepped away from his project to cut the switch one, suddenly, my eyes opened wide and looked around with amazement of how different the house looked once light filled the room. Since I was young until now, I knew I wanted to be some what like my father; A hard working hands on type a person. Even in school, I enjoyed the most complex equations and projects that some of the other students in my class despised. What I've always drempt about as a kids, there is a chance I can see it in reality. Today, I want to make my country the future we all see in movies and television shows such as "The Jetsons". With so much ambutation and hope for the future, I took a leap and decided to join a trade school, In hopes that one day, I will become a certified electrician. I joined trade school for the simple fact that it would be flexable around my daily living. As a full time worker and a guarantor for my nephews and niece, this was the only option that not only would work around my day to-day life and family, but also help me achieve my goals. I can still enjoy my job and my family now, and be one step away from becoming a successful electrician thanks to trade schools.
