This quote describes me definitely:
“Don’t ever let somebody tell you… You can’t do something. Not even me. All right? You got a dream… You gotta protect it. People can’t do somethin’ themselves, they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want somethin’, go get it. Period.”

international links he was also the Lord Mayor in 2018. One of his biggest
achievements on the council was beginning the Solar panel scheme that took the
