A little bit about me

hello, not sure how to start with this but i'm looking for a job as fast as i can, my family isn't doing so well with money and it would be great if i could finally help them out. i feel like i was always just some person in the family that never did anything, i am not good at many things and i have never worked in my life and i'm so nervous with finding a job, i hope something good comes out of life in this present time. it would be nice if i could make some money for my family and so i can start being ready for working in the future, i am not always a social person but i can try becoming a social person. i am 15 years old as well, a lot to take in for myself and for anyone who read this and it's totally okay if i can't get a job. my friends started working as well since it's always best to help out your family in any way you can. i am into music, rock/metal, i love watching horror movies, i am just currently learning skateboarding, i love to read books most of time, this is my life.
