Growing up without a dad was a tough experience. I couldn't do the things other kids got to do and or experience. Even now paying for college, or buying any nice things I want for myself I have to work hard. Finishing high school was a huge challenge, but it paid off knowing I made my mom proud. All my mom wants for me is to succeed and not make the same mistakes she did. Due to her constant push, I have always had a hard drive to succeed, I can't fail and will try my absolute hardest to perform the best that I can.
I have always been interested in being an electrician, I enjoy working with my hands and being outdoors. I do come from a single mother who raised 3 kids on her own, with her mother being an immigrant we always had huge shoes to fill. With the decisions my mother made growing up, the shoes got even bigger for me to fill. I am a handworker who is trying to make a name for herself so I enrolled at SJVC Temecula to become an electrician but I'm trying to find ways to help pay for college. Any help I can get so I can take the correct steps towards a dream career is very appreciated.
I hope that any support or help I gain along the journey will build me to succeed and become an awesome electrician who gets her job done but also remembers where she came from. I also hope that one day I can help kids who grew up just like me and give them the same opportunities that I received.

I have always been interested in being an electrician, I enjoy working with my hands and being outdoors. My current job is at Americas Tire and it made me fall even more in love with the thought of working with my hands. It wasn't easy at first and some days I still struggle, but it's a learning experience. As long as I keep pushing and never quitting I will be able to use these experiences in the real world to help myself as well as others.

Trade work for me was always important because it is needed. The world is constantly growing and building and power is a necessity. It is also work that is desired especially because now kids want to work in front of a computer or from home but I know that my drive and desire to learn and gain real-life experience will set me apart from the rest of my competition.
I hope that any support or help I gain along the journey will build me to succeed and become an awesome electrician who gets her job done but also remembers where she came from. I also hope that one day I can help kids who grew up just like me and give them the same opportunities that I received.
