My name is Brandon and I am currently enrolled as a music student at UNCG. As you can see here there is a lack of deck in my yard. I have been saving for a deck since I have moved into this house 3 years ago yet every time I get some money saved up one of my rescue cats gets sick with some illness that end up being extremely expensive. My nice little home could really use a deck so my college friends and I could actually have a place to sit around and hang out and this contest was an answer to my prayers. I work as a magician and balloon artist at a restaurant as well as a piano teacher on the weekend however that pays for my college fees and food only. I actually had some money saved up but my dad recently lost his job and now I am trying to help out with everything I can, tohelp with our family's financial stability. I appreciate such a wonderful contest and can't wait to see how it turns out.
