I have been to their hometown many times throughout my life I grew up with a very rich understanding of where they came from and how little they would have had if they would have stayed, it always humbles me to be there and I am thankful to have been given the "chance's" in life which I have been given or created for myself. I was born in Aurora Illinois in 1982, I am currently 38 years young, it's not exactly Chicago but Aurora in the 90's saw its own fair share distraught times and disparity unknown to me back then but that town was giving each and every person a trial every single day. At 16 I dropped out of High School, received my GED from a local community college I was driven to work, create money and learn a trade automobiles fascinated me there was a Body Shop a block away from where we lived that had a Lifted Chevelle which looked like it could go Mountain climbing. I knew at the time I wanted to learn to modify cars and create my own custom creations I would sign up for classes in the upcoming fall semester and complete an Associates degree with a certificate in Auto Body Repair by 20 years of age I had already customized a few project cars but I lacked the mechanical side so I enrolled into a very good Tech School. I graduated UTI (Universal Technical Institute) in 2003 although what I wanted for myself in life was to be my own boss and modify cars I ended up working for a dealership and spent the next 15 years of my life mastering the trade. Although I never reached the highest seat in the shop I appreciate my time spent learning to be productive with my hands, meaning a skill or a set of skills that requires nothing but yourself and your tools to make money, the friendships and comraderies I made were above anything I could have envisioned a great time all around. I am still single I enjoy a good night on the town with my latest Love interest, I workout and lift weights and am constantly changing my habits, in an attempt to better understand myself. I enjoy riding my motorcycle on quite roads Sunday morning or late at night. A sense of becoming an instructor has surfaced in me, I relocated to the Houston Area sometime in 2015, I have been writing since I arrived along with discovering all the Wonders Texas has to offer. I have learned to slow down and appreciate more of the now, I am at ease in my new home and my new career as a writer it gives me the opportunity to let go just unwind by grouping letters and words in a way I never knew possible before again truly grateful. My parents have retired and relocated to Mexico, I spend more time there since it is a much shorter drive than before and because my parent are just 'not as young' as they used to be, they own a farm and I myself am learning how to maintain livestock and plant corn, what a new challenge for me? My current hobbies include reading Quora, reading Medium feeding my curiosity side, studying Wall Street and educating myself to improving my own writing. I am a big Baseball fan (Go Cubs) and am constantly re-examining History and trying to look at it in a different light. Although I do not have a family of my own (...yet) I am very content with everything I do and don't do I just wish for each and every one of my readers to feel the same, thank you.vizualizați mai puține
