A little bit about me

I love kids, I have a younger sibling I basically raised after my dad divorced her mom. I am a pretty active person, I love being outside and lifting in the gym. I am 16, and a junior in high school. I plan on going to collage downstate, getting my business degree, as well as personal training certifications. I like things to be clean, I don't like working in a messy environment and tend to clean it up myself when needed. I've watched kids for two years, mostly family friends' children as well as my parent's coworkers' kids. I've always loved being around children, if I can't make it to be a personal trainer with my own gym I plan on working with kids in some way shape, or form.
