This is your life
Three weeks ago, he helped clear the land. It was his first time on a job site, but he came ready to learn.
“He’s like a sponge,” the foreman tells us. “He absorbs everything. And he wants to learn how to do things the right way. If he was 18, I’d offer him a job right now. That’s how good he is.”
Taisean still has a couple of years before he’s 18, so there’s time to decide if construction is in his future. Right now his focus is on completing high school, earning money at a part-time job, and volunteering with Habitat for Humanity.
“I’ve learned a lot about myself this year,” he says. “I’ve learned I can do this [construction] and I’ve learned I can be part of a team. When people meet me, I hope they can see that I’m a hard worker.”

Taisean,
I remember you well. At the first of sight when you greeted me at your facility you was such a gentlemen. I remember you telling me that you worked at an eating place called Mushroom. I think that is the right place. I would like to encourage you to always think positive and in order to get respect you have to give respect. You will go a long ways in life if you stick to this motto. Always remember when nothing is required from you, you lose the ability to remember. Learn as much as you can while you are young and always listen to individuals who are trying to help you. It is not like they are trying to tell you what to do but trying to help you in the future. One more thing, when you can learn how to except rejection in life you will go a long ways. I am so proud of you!!!

Taisean,
I just saw the article about you; I wanted to take a moment to celebrate and applaud you! You said in the article that you want people to see you are a hard worker; well based on the foreman’s comments in the article it’s showing. I truly believe your determination and the desires of your heart will lead you to fantastic achievements. May the Lord continue to bless you and make His face to shine upon you. You are an outstanding young man and the future is yours. The world needs you, and I look forward to hearing about you as you achieve all that is destined for you.
