I had never touched any kind of industrial machinery before, but my aluminum coupling turned out better than my mentor's. But that career would have been an over-compensation for the career that my dad loss.

Navigating identity crisis, non-conformity and freedom requires a soul with stamina. "The price is high, the reward is great."
