I grew up in a small town .My father  36   chickens and ran a construction company. I was barely 10 years old  37   my dad gave me the responsibility of feeding the chickens and  38   the stable. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn  39   . Then ,when I was 22, found a job in Natchbill at a country music  40   called the Natchbill Palace, I washed  41   and cooked from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm and then went on  42   and sang until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn’t  43   I became known as a singing cook. I had been  44   so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be  45   .One night, a  46   executive from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show  47   ,we sat down and talked and after she left , I said to  48   it was one more  49   . A few weeks later , my manager received a phone call-Warner Brothers wanted to  50   me to a record deal. Soon after, I  51   my first record in June 2006. It sold over 2 million.  52   . My best efforts had gone into every job I’ve ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me  53   a man. Knowing that I had done my best  54   me with pride. I still feel that way today,  55   I have become a well-known singer.
