As a child I was always ambitious and hungry to make money. At 8 years old my Dad allowed me to call former canceled newspaper subscribers to see if I could restart their subscriptions. I am going to date myself a bit, as this was back in 1992. The newspaper was a huge business in those days and being called by an 8-year old was more accepted in the 90’s. Whether it was car washes, mowing lawns, lemonade stands, paper routes, or recycling bundles of newspaper, I was a true entrepreneur before becoming a teenager. Cheryl on the other hand was a high achieving student focused on a 4.0 GPA. School and academia were extremely important to her and her family. Coming from a Filipino family she was expected to be a doctor, lawyer, or scientist. A high achiever as a member of the Youth Lions Club and a High School Student Body Officer for the Executive Council National Team Leadership Program. She also participated in Track and Field, Choir, and was part of the FCDAS(Filipino Dance Association) for 7 years. We have come together from totally different worlds but make a great team. Her strengths are my weaknesses and vice versa.
