My Inspiration /Valuable lesson in life:
Who taught me my most valuable lesson and what it was? My mom taught me to never stop learning and evolving. She lived this lesson going back to school at 45 (Single,with 3 teens at home) and earning her 3rd college degree. I’d probably still be in school if they would let me back in the dorms.
Valuable construction lesson: Teaching yourself to build things yields many valuable lessons…Try cutting drywall your first time with a circular saw. You’ll only do it once.
