Richard Rawlings

Imagine having a car that has no value to it and turning it into an exotic ride that should be in a museum and people would give their left eye for it. I have become aware of my hero last year when I saw his show called ''Gas Monkeys''. I fell in love with this show when my friend told me about it, because he is also a car lover as much as me. He attracts me so much because ever since he was little he loved cars. He also had three different cars in high school. He loved workings like I did to buy his cars, so he was independent as well like me. He now started his own car company and he is making millions because its TV show called ''Gas Monkeys'', which I want to do as well. Making millions in what I love to do. As a high school student I love trying to succeed in school to get good grades and have a good future. I would like to pursue that familiar career by taking auto in high school and trying to start my own business later in the future. I want to strive towards my goals throughout high school.

The job I am willing to do in the future that will make money for my living is being a car mechanic. I would have to get my bachelor's degree and go to a good college. The average mechanic makes about 80,000 dollars a year. You can make more if you do outside of work jobs. The similar related careers to this is being a motorcycle mechanic or a plane mechanic. The recent developments is that you need to know somewhat about cars already and most cars rely on computers. You also need to know the general plan already of what you are doing. Having an interest in cars is also good because if you don't, you will get bored at your own job.

The traits that can help you out in the future with this is working on your own car and seeing what's wrong with it. You can also look up videos on the internet to learn more about car parts and have more of a general idea on what you are doing. The top school for becoming a good mechanic is ITU. ITU is in Long  Beach and a lot of successful car mechanic have graduated from there. You should also start early as well maybe work with your dad or uncle on a car. Any family or friends even is a good idea to check out their cars. Rawlings started at a young age working with cars. He never graduated for mechanics he just worked in a small car shop in working with things he already knew what to do. He later got really into it and made his own car garage fixing and rebuilding cars.

My personal hero contributes to the community by fixing their cars to make them work, so they can get to work or the store. Rawlings also makes custom cars to make people have better cars and more flashy to improve people's life. He also donates money to African kids because he makes a lot of money since he has his own show. Rawlings is a sensible person who cares about people and likes to help people out in life. Without his car shop in Texas people's car would probably be messed up and would have to go farther to fix their cars rather than just travelling closer. Since Rawlings also does customize cars it would probably take someone hours to find a customized car shop to find. Even when they find the shop after traveling somewhere far it wouldn't be the same quality as Rawlings' shop because they have years of experience and they have exotic ideas and mind blowing minds. This is why Rawlings helps society.

The specific goals I'll do to achieve to become a car mechanic is getting good grades in high school and I'll try to volunteer at an auto shop to learn more and can put that in my applications to get into a better college. For my extracurricular activities I'll join auto shop to become even better. This will get me more advance than other people to get me a better shot in becoming what I want to become. I want to get into Universal Technician Institute, it is just a 51 week program after that ill work in an auto shop for about 7 or 8 years trying to make money and do some outside work as well. My dad has some property in Pomona in a corner which will I take over and make it into an auto shop ill hire some of my friends because they want to pursue the same job as me since we all love cars. I'll make way more profit then move back to Mission Viejo and probably open another shop here.
