    I have always been told I am very good at quick math but then again the only math I know is dollars, tons, pounds, cubic feet. I can pretty much break down anything as long as it has to do with those four things. Other then that stick an algebra question in front of me and it would take me days to figure it out. The funny thing is I make more $$$ then everyone I went to school with and always considered school just an obstacle that was in my way to full time scrap processing. I completely blame this on my dad because he took me around to his job sites and scrap yards at such a young age that all I ever wanted to do was spend my summer tearing stuff up and cutting stuff with a torch. I had zero interest in anything in school except history. Don't look at it as a negative look at it as a positive. Some people were born to do specific things in life and I found my calling at such a young age that I soaked it up like a sponge. I wish there was more for me to learn but I think I have reached my pinnacle seeing how no piece of scrap no matter how big or small or what the removal takes I can get it done with unheard of quickness. The sad part is when I am not at the yard or a manufacturing plant I feel lost. I think I am the only person in america that can't wait to go to wake up and go to work and get it started. At the end of the day I don't want to leave either.
