Another rough draft.

The two way door opened with a familiar screech at 7:30am, announcing that someone had arrived to the small and quaint office on the corner of Iowa Street. The office was already acquainted with the woman that had shuffled in. The same clean cut neckline on her style of dress and bouncy blonde hair that framed the smile on her face. She quickly scrambled to her desk, looking back at me to say a warm and friendly "good morning!" I would momentarily glance away from work to look back and say, "Good morning Christine!"

An A-B student in high school, Christine McDannell never officially went to college to get a degree. Her experiences in college only ranged from two semester classes she took during high school. Even with full financial support towards getting a degree, she chose to make it on her own. "I mean, why go and spend the four years and have my dad spend all that money when I could just spend those four years in the working world, learning how the world works." For the first 5 years after turning 18, she took a job as a leasing consultant, sold real estate, and took up property management, managing 32 unit portent complexes. At 23, she dreamt of having her own company. After days of going from bank to bank for a loan to buy her own business office, she returned home empty handed. By working with two employees for a year and a half, cleaning supplies in her hands and a cell phone latched onto her hip, she obtained thirty five thousand dollars to buy her company. Now, her company stands strong with the passing of its 6 year anniversary last December.

Through her dedication and determination, she brings new meaning to her motto, "I'm going to do whatever it takes". After years of surviving the recession and total company revamping, Cleanology has climbed the ranks in high quality cleaning personnel services in San Diego County. "Satisfaction guaranteed" is not only a statement when it comes to her. As threatening as the situation may be, she is quick to communicate, easy to talk to, provides positive solutions, and makes sure to understand all aspects of the problem before hanging up the phone, leaving clients feeling reassured.
