If you were a car, what model and make would you be and why?

1987 Ford Ranger pickup. I washed thousands of cars at Boone Ford to pay for that truck, and it ran great for the four years I owned it. Nothing flashy, it just did its job without complaining. Best part, it was paid for.

Monti Sorem graduated from chiropractic school six months early and spent that time he would otherwise have been in studies doing an internship at a clinic in Cincinnati. He started researching ways to open his own practice shortly after that.

It was an ambitious undertaking, but Sorem has always been ambitious, even in the friendly advice he received from a mentor who said that everything will take twice as long and cost twice as much as planned.

While his friends were playing around on local playgrounds, he was working at the baseball fields of Olympia High School and Old Washington for Babe Ruth baseball games.

"What better job for a 12 year old," he said. When not working, Sorem spends his time volunteering at Lacey Sunrise Lions, with Boy Scouts of America, where he is a troop leader, and at Olympia High School, where he is a volunteer baseball and football coach.
