Seeing what things could me made with wood really grabbed my attention, and since then, I have kept my eyes on this job. When considering a…

The second thing I noticed is how colorful the building…

The club I am involved with at school that allowed me to…

I was surrounded by dirt, run down houses, and unpaved streets. After meeting the family, we started building the foundation for the house.
