I really liked Jackson, I made a lot of friends along the way and learned everything that I know today. Jackson helped me find a nice job. I started off as an associate and worked my way up to a supervisor position. Jackson helped me find out what I want to do in life, which is become a veterinarian technician at Sinclair community college. Although Jackson helped me find my way in life, there were some downsides like being pushed to your breaking point or being bullied into something that you didn't want. But I think all that help me be the person who I am today. It definitely shaped who I am as a person.
