      I plan on pursuing an education in welding. I am interested in this trade because of my past work in insulation and seeing skilled welders work and seeing all the projects they do really interested me. While I worked as an insulator I made lots of friends who weld and over time I have helped them with their home projects and so forth like making a meta chicken coop, or a base for a patio, or welding a door shut. I have applied and been accepted to western Welding school I plan on graduating within 4 months and put in more Ethan 12 hours a day during those 4 months, I have also talked to their future team and have some jobs that I can be qualified for after and right now I am working as a server working a lot to save for food while I'm at school and means of getting around. If you called a adult in my life they will tell you that I am hard working opersisteent tenacious humble good at keeping time, organized, driven, will full, hopeful, caring, respectful, and willing to invest in myself for a better future. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -- - - - - - -- - -- - - - - -- - - - - - -- - - -- -- - - - -- - -- - - - - -- -- - - -- -- - - -- - - - -- - -- --- - -- - - - - -- - - -- -- - - -- - - - -- - - - -- - - -- - -- --- - --- -- -- ---- - - -- - - -- - - - - - -- - -- -- -- -- - - -- - -- - - -- - -- -- - - -- - - -- --- - -- - - - - - - -- -- - -- - - - - -- - - - - - -- -- - -- - - -- - - --

      I chose to go to welding school so that I can work 12+ hours a day for over 50 an hour 7 days a week to buy a house and adopt my 3 siblings. I have the will and the drive to become more than successful in this field and I am ready for the next step in my life. I don’t have money or the family to support my goals so I am applying for all the scholarships possible. I will be skilled and multi certified with the school I have been interviewed for and accepted to and I plan to become a outstanding welder. I love creating and making things with my hands. And another goal of mine is to a more than educated woman in anything from automotive to electrical. Which will be my next task after my siblings graduate from highschool and venture out into the world. I plan on working so much that in the next two years when I am 20 I would have a house in a beautiful state with a vehicle and everything my siblings will need! I am more than excited the school I chose allows my life membership to come back and refresh my skills along with a place to stay and all the hours I can ever make to push myself ahead in the industry not only as a youngster but as a woman and I want to surpass all my coworkers and learn from them even more. I chose this career because of the demand and because of the wealth that comes with that demand.i am extra excited with all the things and time I receive if I can hopefully pay or gather enough scholarships for atleast some of the tuition. I am investing in myself and my future but I do not wish to live a life of working to cut my debt. That would be good for no one around me or myself. I plan to stay on compass and complete atleast that 12 hours a day just toning and working and nitpicking my skills until it is good enough to land me a job that is top tier. Right now I am 18 and I know that within the next 2 years I will be more than ready to achieve my goals and much more. I know that with my drive and my will I will be more than successful!
