Summary
For the past four years of high school I have been working as a full-time student. Managing, delegating, and setting an example are some of the aspects I elicit when being Captain of the water polo team and Editor of Photography in Yearbook. I have been able to build and put my leadership skills into practice during my high school career. As I am branching out into adulthood, I am ready to take on more roles that will help me exercise the skills I have learned. The experiences have prepared me for my future, furthermore, I am eager to learn and grow in my professional career.
