Thomas' Simple 250 word Self Introduction

-
Hi! My name is Thomas and I was born on an Indian reservation in Oklahoma during the  last years of what is called the Baby boomer generation. Although I love all of my brothers and sisters nowadays, back then it seems that we fought and argued a lot - at least until I was about 14 years old. That’s my life changed in a big way for the better.
As a child, my life was not so wonderful. My mother had 6 children and when I was 7, my dad decided that he didn’t want to be a dad any more. Yea, we were poor, so poor that I sometimes had to eat peanut butter for dinner and didn’t see my mom nearly as much as I would have like to. She seemed always to be working or driving my other brothers and sisters to gymnastics practice. Nevertheless, she was and awesome mom.
At the age of 14, I somehow got me into a private high school and that’s when my life began to change for the better. With role models and a structured environment, I realized that I was not only very athletic, but also very intelligent. When I graduated high school, I was first in my class.
From there, I began to travel and I eventually settled in Taiwan. Although I do not have a huge amount of money, I have everything I need and as far as I am concerned, my journey is just beginning.

For example, in the manufacturing industry, robots can do repetitive and dangerous tasks, which were previously done by humans. Similarly, AI-powered chatbots can provide customer support and answer frequently asked questions, reducing the need for human customer service representatives. However, this automation of jobs has a potential downside, as many people may lose their jobs and struggle to find new employment opportunities. To deal with this issue, policymakers andbusinesses need to work together to provide retraining and reskilling programs for workers who are affected by automation. Overall, while AI can increase efficiency and productivity, it is important to find ways to mitigate its negativ...
