“I don’t want to settle to be on the bottom”

Ever since I was 15 I’ve always enjoyed working instead of going to school. I’ve also learned instead of being a follower and taking orders from someone, I like to rise above and be the leader. It doesn’t matter if I’m new, any job I take I want to be the boss, the leader. I want to get things done. I have my own energy for it. I can’t sit back and take orders, especially if I know I can get the job done really quick. Recently I just joined the movie industry, even though I’m new at building sets and stuff, I got to be the head with the team I was with, and I loved it. I want to rise to that. I always like rising.

I reach for the stars. I don’t want to settle for less and I don’t want to settle to be on the bottom. I’ve already been on rock-bottom recently. I never want that again. I’m going to keep fighting for it. I don’t care what it takes. I got into a car accident and I still went to work the next day. That’s how dedicated I am to get to where I want to be.

I had a teddy bear. His name was Percy. He made me happy, especially when I was sad crying as a little kid. He would cheer me up and be there. I still have him, he’s at my grandparent’s house.
