story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
‘Do what you do today?’ Vague, isn’t it. Fine, I’ll be simple - the world is about surviving, and to do that you have to make yourself useful. Stick with what you’re good at. I’m good at what I do, I always was and I always will be. That's why I 'do it.' It's what I'm good at.
