Summary
I'm confident that I can do the work that is set out for me, because I've had many hard times on the farms and had to work through adversity. I will self-motivate into doing the work no matter the days or the hardships I face. I'm more than capable of problem solving issues that come my way, I'm physically fit and ready to work wherever I'm able and can work with a team sufficiently.
