This past year has been a very fun and exciting time for me, I have continued to live and work on the Vineyard trying to make my way in the Tree industry. I acquired my own insurance and have been trying to do a bit of my own jobs on the side as well as continuing work for the local company Tabor Tree. My boss and owner of Tabor, Riley Dobel has been very generous to let me use some of his equipment to do these jobs which has been very helpful as tree work can require a lot of tools and machines to be done safely and efficiently. It has been fun and challenging learning to bid jobs on my own trying to make sure I give the client a good deal as well as not short selling my own skill and production. I have learned a lot doing this and continue to learn more everyday. Aside from work many of my friends are wrapping up their college careers and it's been nice to be able to spend more time with them as many of them are back on the island full time. A group of us does trivia once a week which is a nice way to split the week up and not get too bored in the long island winter. I continue to play hockey once or twice a week in the local league and the ponds have been frozen so pond hockey has been a regular occurrence on the weekends. I would like to thank MVYouth for all the help they have provided me over the years, I would not be where I am today without the generous donations from all the donors making everything possible for me and the other recipients. I will always remember the time I spent in college and the people who made it all possible.
