"My Life..."

My name is Mario Hanon. The life I have lived has leaded me to where I am now. Now I am going to write a little more about myself. Some of the things in my life I would like to consider hobbies/passions are playing the guitar, restoring cars, and being a friend. I included being a friend because there are few in the real world. I take this saying and apply it to my life," Treat your neighbor as yourself." My new passion (playing the guitar) is something new I started doing and I love it. And ever since I could remember my father and I have always been restoring cars as a means of work and as an opportunity to bond with each other. I grew up in a bad community in San Francisco as a child. My family and I moved around a bit until we finally settled in Daly City (where we live now). It is fairly quiet, but predominately an Asian community. When I was growing up, my family and I were not that close. The only time we would really have a conversation together was in the afternoon during dinner. But now, I would like to say things have changed for the better. I am the first in my family to graduate from high school and the first to commit to get a college degree. I want to honor both of my parents by doing so. After graduating from college I would like to obtain a high position in a corporate office making a lot of money. I would like to pay my parents debts. They have done so much for me, now it is my turn to return the favor. I am a results driven person. My motivation (besides my parents) would have to be my future. I want to be able to provide for both my families. Not only that, but give back to my community. Like for example, I would build a homeless shelter that offers rehabilitation services and has a church. I would also build homes for the poor in Perez Zeledon, Costa Rica where my family is from. I inspire to follow my dreams.
