My Inspiration

I remember seeing him every day after he had come from work wash his hands with a special cream that would only wash off the greasy black dirt. While he was a mechanic he decided to go back to school, he worked 7am to 5pm, then go to school nights. He would also take weekend classes. He was a happy person and a really motivated person. That motivation kept him
