Uncle Guito -

I’m 15, and since … jeez, well over three years ago, I have worked to get whatever the heck I wanted.

I started with paper routes, when I was like, 10, just every wednesday stuff.  
Moved up to a normal route.

Then I became an engraver roughly 3 years ago. I did that for the summer. I got my friend a job there with me. He chopped off the tip of his finger, the moron. 😛

I worked at Global Donuts last year, and right now I’m employed by the city.

And I’m 15.

There’s always opportunities, kid, you just have to get off your duff and find them. My resume is so \*\*\*\* full I can get any job I want (besides higher education etc.) to pay for my future, a car, a cell phone, and whatever other junk I want.

And I don’t rely on my parents to get to and fro. If I have the chance, I take public transportation. If it’s nice, I ride my bike. If none work, I can hit up my dad for a ride, or take a cab.

* * *

“it sucks  
its not like its my fault, i cant prevent it”

It does suck, and it is your fault, and you CAN prevent it.

I’m a pro engraver, LoL.

It’s mostly computer-based nowadays, but there’s a lot of hands on.

You know when you see things on Plaques they have names on them and stuff? or on plates there’s writing, or…_tries to think of examples_  
The Stanley Cup, each team that has won it has had their name engraved on it.

I think you get it now, if you need better, uh, look it up on google, cause it’s hard to explain.

You take a big machine, a computer, and something else, and put words/pictures on it.
