I have attended this program ever since I was in Elementary School and currently am an Alumni and past recipient of their scholarship program awarded to me the past 4 years in college.

I've had the opportunity to teach at a school where I served as a teacher for a day, at Moffett Elementary School. Taught Math and English for a full day once a year for  my sophomore year and senior year of high school. This taught me leadership roles in being able to communicate and analyze students to be able to get their attention and remain focused.
