NOTES / OTHER INFORMATION 
________________________________________
I believe that the definition of discipline is doing the right thing in the absence of leadership. I practice this theory on a daily basis and take a great deal of pride in my ability to work just as hard UN-supervised as I do supervised. I am committed to becoming the best at everything I do and enjoy teaching others around me how to do the same. I am confident in my ability to learn new things quickly, have great communication skills, and work well with others.
