"Why me?" was always the question I was asking when my dad or mom would take me to work with them either to help in landscaping or to help clean offices. I started to work from a very early age and felt like it was unfair, I wouldn't say I liked the fact that I wouldn't be able to spend a nice Friday afternoon with friends. However, the circumstances we were living in would not allow us to take a few days off. Although at first working seemed to have a negative effect on me, throughout the years I grew accustomed to the lifestyle and I began noticing the positive effects. I learned that I had a lot of work experience compared to my peers and I was able to develop a disciplined mindset. I also became interested in finding ways to help promote and grow my parents' service-based businesses, I would brainstorm ideas on how to sell our image, and I would create fake flyers and business cards. These ideas excited and inspired me, but extenuating circumstances made it hard to follow this aspiration and I was left only with the vision. I one day hope to follow through with this vision and even though it might not be my parents' business, I would still love to help other businesses transform their visions into reality.
