Becoming A Diesel Mechanic: Personal Narrative

One goal that I have for myself is to go to college. I want to go to school to be a diesel mechanic. This is something I have always wanted to do. Growing up I always had that as my dream career and I have never thought different. I love working on engines, especail the diesel type.

I am one of the members who are incharge of the chapter and we have to make the decisions that affect all of the members in the chapter. Another example is that I am the President of my local 4-H club. As the president, I am the one who is looked up to. I am the one that younger members look to for advice and as an example of what members should be like. I have to be professional at all times in order to handle business correctly, but also so that future member know how to act when they become one of the members who is selected for this
