Everyone in my family has worked a trade or done something like painting or Residential Deck Staining. Carpentry, being an electrician, or whatever else is what my family always did. So when it came time for me to grow up my family didn’t have any doubt in their minds that that was the trade that I was going to be going into . I don’t know how to use tools or anything. I’m not handy. I am scared for myself with a pair of pliers, I can’t even imagine if someone handed me a saw and told me to get to work, I would for sure hurt myself or someone else . That’s how fatalities happen. It all starts with that sort of carelessness. What I understand now that I didn’t when I was younger is that most of these trade positions are passed down through families. The son takes up the father’s job and his son does the same and so does his son and so on and on and on. I didn’t realize that was the reason there was so much pressure on me to take up a trade or why so many family friends assumed I just would. Everyone was really confused when I wasn’t exactly what they thought I was going to be . I suppose I can’t blame them. They were just set in their ways and didn’t know how to handle someone as different as I turned out to be.
