Mechanics and creative problem-solving have played a key role in my family for generations. My grandfather was raised with very little money and resources, so he had to make do with what he had. So that meant he built different things and found unique ways to solve mechanical problems. He used to work on cranes and cars. He never went to school but continued his mechanical knowledge by starting his own business in the pool industry, fixing leaks and equipment, and cleaning them. From there he did all of the repairs on the trucks and kept the whole fleet in working condition. My dad later took over the business and helped to keep the trucks in working order. Then early in my life, I started managing the trucks and making sure they were ready to go mechanically. For the past four years, I have worked at a family-owned automotive shop doing lots of oil changes, and tires and making sure the shop has all of the supplies it needs to succeed. I have recently started doing brake jobs more frequently and radiators, a/c compressors, and alternators. I see myself contributing to innovation in the automotive field by being able to solve complex electrical problems, and repairing several components of a vehicle such as front-end parts (Tie rods, steering racks, suspension) and engine parts (compressors, alternators, valve covers, master cylinders). I would also like to own a shop and manage it shortly to benefit the community and make sure everyone's needs are met. My grandfather did not have any schooling for business and my dad went to UCF for business. My dad says that you don't need a business degree to run a business I believe that is true. I would like to attend college to get more knowledge on running and managing a business to make sure it is profitable and efficient. I would also like to attend a vocational school either sponsored by GM or just an automotive vocational school to get some knowledge on the purpose of some components on a vehicle and the different procedures to take when doing certain jobs. I realize that the automotive field is at risk for shrinkage due to electric vehicles. I still would like to pursue this field because when I am working that is my happy place that is what I enjoy doing. I work every day after school and I forget all about some of the struggles in my life and just go to a different part of my head. I love to learn too and am fascinated by the continual knowledge of cars and how you can always learn something new about them. When you learn to fix one thing you can apply it to another. I recently purchased an outboard flats boat from working at an automotive shop, and I have been applying my mechanical knowledge to fix different issues on the boat like electrical issues or mechanical issues such as the steering helm and ram or the shifter cable and even rewiring the boat itself. Mechanics are my way of life.

I have grown greatly from doing schoolwork online. I always did assignments on Google Docs and Google Slides in elementary and middle school then moved to doing all virtual school in seventh grade. My pop has a pool company so I did all of my school work in a little corner at his shop, he would always let me help him out around the shop during breaks in the day or after school. That has greatly influenced my work drive. I love to work and the motivation to work with my pops helped me to succeed.

I have always been a money saver and am interested in making it grow on its own. I started working for an automotive repair shop 4 years ago and have been saving it all up since. My dad had taught me the fundamentals of finance and I have taken several finance courses. I currently have an investment account and am making monthly interest. Most kids want the latest and greatest of everything, but I live a simpler life and don't necessarily need the latest devices or cars. I help my dad with his company work as well as help with shopping and looking out for sales and deals. I also volunteer at a husky rescue and find homes for huskies that have been abused or given up. We take them in from around the country from many different shelters to prevent them from being euthanized. I am very interested in mechanics and auto repair.

Then early in my life, I started managing the trucks and making sure they were ready to go mechanically. For the past four years, I have worked at a family-owned automotive shop doing lots of oil changes, and tires and making sure the shop has all of the supplies it needs to succeed. I have recently started doing brake jobs more frequently and radiators, a/c compressors, and alternators. I see myself contributing to innovation in the automotive field by being able to solve complex electrical problems, and repairing several components of a vehicle such as front-end parts (Tie rods, steering racks, suspension) and engine parts (compressors, alternators, valve covers, master cylinders). I would also like to own a shop and manage it shortly to benefit the community and make sure everyone's needs are met. My grandfather did not have any schooling for business and my dad went to UCF for business. My dad says that you don't need a business degree to run a business I believe that is true. I would like to attend college to get more knowledge on running and managing a business to make sure it is profitable and efficient. I would also like to attend a vocational school either sponsored by GM or just an automotive vocational school to get some knowledge on the purpose of some components on a vehicle and the different procedures to take when doing certain jobs. I realize that the automotive field is at risk for shrinkage due to electric vehicles. I still would like to pursue this field because when I am working that is my happy place that is what I enjoy doing. I work every day after school and I forget all about some of the struggles in my life and just go to a different part of my head. I love to learn too and am fascinated by the continual knowledge of cars and how you can always learn something new about them. When you learn to fix one thing you can apply it to another. I recently purchased an outboard flats boat from working and I have been applying my mechanical knowledge to fix different issues like electrical or mechanical such as the steering and shifting. Mechanics are my way of life.

Mechanics and creative problem-solving have played a key role in my family for generations. My grandfather was raised with very little money and resources, so he had to make do with what he had. So that meant he built different things and found unique ways to solve mechanical problems. He used to work on cranes and cars.

1 I would like to pursue a career in the automotive field and own a shop. 2 My grandfather was very mechanical, my dad is very mechanical, and I have been raised with fixing different things and have developed many mechanical skills and wish to advance them. 3 I have worked at a family-owned auto shop for 4 years it's not in my family. I have creative problem-solving every day to figure out how to put a customer's protective shield back on underneath using cable ties, wire, spare bolts, and self-tappers. I have also used problem-solving skills to help other mechanics in the shop put a part in or take it out such as an alternator that won't come out so you need to take the cooling fan out to make room. I have a very mechanical past I have built boats and worked on several different things around the house like sprinklers and electrical. I even purchased a flats boat recently and am applying my automotive mechanical knowledge to it to solve problems. The trailer lights would not work and they were running the ground wire to the frame of the trailer and only one light would work so I rewired the lights to run off of the ground of the car in the connector and rewired all of the other wires and used silicone them to the frame to prevent corrosion. 4 I have found several different schools that I could benefit from to satisfy my need to run a business and advance my knowledge of cars by doing some business classes to get knowledgeable, and my dad owns a pool company so he can help me with some concepts. Then I will also attend a vocational program either sponsored by GM or a regular course to learn more about cars. 5 They would recommend me for this scholarship because I have a very strong drive for work I enjoy working and I work every day. My current employer counts on me to keep things running smoothly in the shop I even stay after 5 some days to keep it smooth some days I'm there at 7 or 8 pm. I do schooling online right now so when I'm ahead I will work 10 to 11 hour days at the shop. If you talk to anyone at the shop they will say that I don't stop working even the customers comment to me that they never see me stop.
