33,000 dollars later, and I was a changed man! I bought her at the shop up the road from my house the day after my grandpa passed away. She was ember red and as smooth as a baby’s bottom. I’m talking about a truly iconic American Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Although this had not been my first bike, it was my first bike that was not a crotch rocket. Instead, I got a 2012 custom built Street Glide with a aftermarket sound system that can be heard from miles away. I am now twenty two and I would have to say that paying off my Harley has been my greatest accomplishment because it helped teach me things I needed to know, like financial stability and a strong work ethic, in order to grow into a respectable young adult. As I mentioned before, I paid 33,000 dollars for my bike, which is a lot of money for a person my age. It was especially a lot of money for someone who had been working only a factory job making less than 30,000 dollars a year. It really made me think about all the money I was making and how I should put it away and save it for my …show more content…
My job at MI-T-M started at five o’clock each morning so I had to be awake at three-thirty just to give me enough time to get dressed, prep my meals for the day and drive to work. At work I learned that this world owes you nothing and you have to work your ass off to get what you want in life. I did just that, and worked my way up in my department to earned myself a leadman spot in charge of the production line. I was the youngest leadman at MI-T-M and earned my spot through hard work and not from people I knew. Working as much to 60-70 hours a week and balancing my workouts definitely taught me discipline and a new perspective on life itself. This strong work ethic has also influenced me now to go back to school while still working and get an education to better myself and earn more money for new
Anyone who has ever worked hard has heard the saying, “It builds character.” For example, say someone went to college. They worked hard to graduate with a degree, and finally got their dream job. Two months in they get laid off. Their first job is gone, but still must move on.
A cadillac. My family was rich. They spent a lot on me. Little did I know, that just four days later, I would end up in auto-repair from my bad crash trying to parallel park. About a month later, I was dropped off at Stanford University.
Ever since that day, and many, many horses later, I have been passionate about horses. I began going to local fun shows, where I would show in mainly pleasure classes. It gave me a great foundation of how to ride a horse correctly. I won many awards on my pleasure horse and really enjoyed doing it, but as I got older, I began to have a need for speed. With this being said, I started entering the speed classes.

One being, learning how to manage my time. There were weeks where we would have school all day, then practice till five, then a basketball game at six. It was extremely hard to study, cheer, work, and somehow have a social life. These situations helped me plan ahead to when I was going to finish homework or study for my upcoming tests. I will use this useful skill in college next year where i'll find myself always looking for time that I don't have.
It’s amazing that in this era, any woman can buy and lease cars without always having their family members, spouses, and boyfriends buy one for them. It’s a major accomplishment that generations to come won’t understand, how women in the 40s to 80s couldn’t do because they were only allowed to be homemakers and stay at home

During a job search, I could be going up against 300-400 individuals for one job. Now, I thoroughly enjoyed teaching, but I made the difficult decision to leave that part of my life behind and move on to another passion of mine, which is finance. Essentially, all I ever wanted was a chance to work for a great company, to prove what a valuable asset I am. My work ethic has always been a source of pride for me.
I was finally stepping outside my comfort zone learning to ride a bike. The most memorable time in my life was the time my dad taught me how to ride my first bike. At the age of six he taught me the basics of riding a bike. Along with rules that were set in order to help me be responsible with my bike. I learned to ride a bike without training wheels.
For motorcycle enthusiasts, it could really be heaven’s gift if motorcycles come from packages delivered by the storks… This is the kind of fantasy for those wishing hard for a baby. And indeed, once you have your dream motorcycle, we doubt if anything would prevent you from considering it as your baby. But the point of this is that, you have to go over the tough decision of buying your dream motorcycle.
Although I had to do some repainting since it had some dents and scratches on it. I remember my dad telling me that if I want to earn my first car, I need to work for it. I did some part-time works so that I can earn. My parents of course helped me with purchasing. They shouldered about half of price.
My dad’s first car was a 1968 Chevy Camaro. He bought the car in seventh grade for four hundred dollars. Over the years my dad kept his car at my grandparent’s shop, always telling my brother and I that he would fix it up to its formal glory. This past year he finally pulled the trigger and sent it off to a shop to start the restoration process. When he gets the car back its going to once again be a
