Personal Narrative: My Family And Welding

Decent Essays
What makes me, me? I am a sixteen-year-old who currently lives in Utah. I have a great interest in hard labor and metal working due to my background with it. I suppose I get it from both of my parents as I love to see projects come alive in front of my eyes. My identity has been shaped by two major things, my family and Welding.
To begin, the ways my family has shaped me comes down to a few subjects, pushing me to do better, helping me understand how to do better, and giving me the drive to do so. My mother has always pushed me to try new ideas. My father was the one who open the world to hard work and showing me what I can do. It was my cousin Braxton who was the reason to go beyond average and try as hard as I can.
To continue, I enjoy welding
