Personal History
I am 29 years of age, currently in a relationship with 2 children, both boys ages 3 and 6.
I feel it is important to inform any employer prior to accepting my resume that I have recently been released from a Palen Creek Correctional centre. I hope that in being honest with my potential employer/s they may be more inclined to give me a chance to rebuild my life.
