Now to be honest I had been not reporting my income for 3 months which is against the law. So I call my tech , I told her everything from how I had lied to how God had put it on my heart to come clean and that I would take the disciplinary actions that she had to put into place. By the end of the phone call we were thanking each other and both in tears she chose not to take any action considering I called her and came

    An accomplishment that i'm very proud of is the way how i grew out of boy and into a man. When i first got into high school i was sort of overwhelmed with trying to fit in.

But because I tried to desperately try to improve myself anyway, I took big steps instead of little steps to help open the door of improvement.…

    Though I’m still developing my legacy, I like to think that most people who know me, regardless of how well, consider me a person that can put a smile on nearly any face. From my time in high school as photo studio assistant getting babies to giggle on camera to my work as a personal trainer cracking jokes to help clients through the worst parts of their workouts; I learned that a little laughter can improve any situation.

My own experiences with bereavement, chronic ill health and periods of poor mental health have shown me the value of a person that puts in the effort and time to get a smile out of someone. Though happiness is a pretty fleeting…
