My introduction! (Short summary of my life)
### Hey Steemit community, I'm Darien Parlick...

https://scontent.ford1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t34.0-12/21905670_154936691760365_1174730288_n.jpg?oh=855c1a781a82ca76bad49560b7e43af2&oe=59C783B1
###### _**I was born in 1994**_
> *I lived my entire life in Chicago IL, USA*
> *I was raised by my single mother of 5*
> *I was my dads only kid..* 
> *I began working at 16..*

>
>
>
# _*My Life....*_ 
#### Self Educated...
> I dropped out of high school a few days after my 16th birthday. My grades were horrible due to lack of interest in my curriculum and general lack of interest in the education provided by public schools.
> I would spend my school days ditching and reading books in the Chicago Public Library. 
> I have since began collecting books and now have a small personal library which I am always lending books from. 
>I am always looking to expand my knowledge and understanding of the world and society


#### _Began working young._
> I began appreciating work at a very young age. 
> My father raised me very near to job sites and garages and was quick to teach me how to use various tools. 
> I began marketing my skills to my family and neighbors for extra cash as soon as I was old enough to see the value of my labor. 
>During winters as a kid I would sometimes make over $100 a night shoveling snow for my neighbors!
> I began my first tax paying job making sandwiches at 16 years old and since worked as a carpenter, river boat crewman, door to door salesmen, plumber, and much more.
> I grew up very poor, which created a desire in me to begin earning for myself at a quite early on.

## _Teens._
> Growing up poor and with parents whom both struggled with personal issues, I was quite disenfranchised as a teenager. I began drinking and doing drugs as early as 15 and continued into my early adult hood. Although I never let substance use seriously damage my health, it may have contributed to my shortcomings academically and financially thus far. 
> As a teenager I submersed myself into music and socializing. I loved to jam with friends and go to parties. 
> As I moved into late teens, I began to value work more and socializing less but substance use continued. 

## _Early Adulthood._
> After a few rough breakups and going through quite a few jobs, I began to round off at the edges, so to speak. 
> I became more interested in community and family, and work. 
> I have since become sober and moved just outside of the City!
> I have reconnected with my parents, and currently work for myself as a private contractor and bike messenger. 
> I am looking to establish myself in _*alternative media*_, and expand the platform for discussion among humanity.
> These days I focus on obtaining my goals of becoming self employed and strive to live in a way that would one day make my parents proud.
