And being introduced to this trade in high school, I decided to pursue a career in autobody repair. One of the things I find fascinating is watching the transformation from something that most people would call junk into a fully functioning vehicle. I would love to work at a luxury auto repair shop, working with fancy cars, one day.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I was invited to compete at the Skills Canada Manitoba provincial competition by my high school teacher, and I just kept going from there. When I found out that I was going to the 2024 WorldSkills Competition, in Lyon, it was very overwhelming at first. I think my biggest challenge there will probably be the fact that I will be one of the youngest competing against more experienced tradespeople. The best advice I\u2019ve ever received is: Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Interesting fact\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I love all kinds of sports.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Skills for Success\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Collaboration played a huge role in helping me during the competition.
