  Day care teacher - Förskola

  I worked as a substitute teacher which eventually lead to a full time postion. Despite the politics of a Government run day care I learned valuable lessons from both the teachers and the children, and I have the children to thank for my fluent Swedish.

  Gardener - Sopenski Landscaping

  I grew up working along side my seven siblings in our family business, but as much as the work was hard, the rewards where even greater. Though I didn't understand it at the time, I am grateful for the work ethic I received from my stubborn but dedicated Mother and Father
