Welcome Zeh!
Hi, my name is Zeh’vion Coney I was born in Rochester NY, i am 17 years old. I like to play video games such as Call of duty and many other shooting games. I love to work with others, learning new things, and work with my hands. I believe in working hard and that you can do anything you put your mind to. My favorite sport is basketball and I love playing and watching! Although, I also like football.
I definitely hope to get a career in one of the trades and am really interested in becoming an electrician, construction worker, welder, or plumber. My dad is a construction worker so I gained a little knowledge from him. I am also participate in the Accelerated College Enrollment (ACE) program at East High. I am so glad to be part of it and think it is a great opportunity to just help me gain more knowledge about the trades. It gives me the opportunity to get an head start on my future.
