The reason got my first job in high school wasn't to buy nice or new things but to help me pay to go to college. I knew from the get go that if I wanted to get where I wanted in life I needed to work hard to get there.
Creativity and the ability to create. Having the ability to create something that no one has seen before or invoke a feeling and response with something I've created makes me want to push the envelope and find new ways to bring the unimaginable to the real world
