VOLUNTEER WORK
I help kids get better at reading, and if they don't know English, I would translate it for them. Towards the end of every session, I would also like to give them feedback on their progress and some things they should keep working on., I have also done some community service in catholic charities. I was mostly organizing items of food so they could pack it and give it to families in need. I am very good at public speaking due to the class I am taking at Donnelly College and my work experience.
