          My most important work experience was helping my Father around the house, my father was a real handyman. could fix anything, he knew about plumbing, electricitie, carpentry and car repair. Every saturday, my father and I go to the hardware store to get supplies. Then, we fix things in the house all day. This experience very vaulable to me. learned more from my father than from all of my teachers in school, when I was only 13, I started working for people in my neighborhood, by the time I was 16, I had work every afternoon. Now I have my own business. and I owe everything to my father. was my best teacher.
