I currently work as a support teacher at the Primrose school of The Woodlands at Sterling ridge. I work in the Young Toddler classroom with age ranges from 12 months to 18 months. My job is very heavily curriculum based school even at a young age I teach the toddlers a variety of curriculum from movement skills, to music, language, math, science and sensory, art, writing, and reading. The students have a new unit to learn every month and I am in charge of helping keep track of how the students are developing curriculum wise and growth as toddlers. We use a system called Procare to keep track of everything the students do and it is all documented for staff and parents to review and go through. I help keep the classroom tour ready and make sure the students are following the daily schedule and help them learn the structure and expectations of the classroom. I follow all state policy and rules along with following the expectations and standards that make us Primrose ready.

• I worked for the SHSU Athletic Ticket Office, my job is scanning tickets, and ushering for seats and VIPs at athletic games. The job hadvery flexible hours and I can work when I want at games that happen ever so often during the month. The job has allowed me to gain more customer service skills and communication skills. My main position was selling tickets at all athletic event and working in the office as a receptionist for the Athletic ticketing and marketing department. For selling tickets I have to work with a very complicated system called Paciolan that gives me access to all ticket holder accounts and selling tickets for all athletic games. At games I was in charge of assisting customers with where they would like to sit and present and future games they would like to attend. I was also in charge of keeping count of all the cash and tally those who pay with cash. With all the athletic events I had to memorize all the different price levels for each game their can be anywhere from 3-10 different price levels. In the office I was a receptionist; I directed all calls to the appropriate department I also assist callers with any question they have about games and purchasing game tickets. I also made changes to a ticket holders accounts and add order lines to their accounts and make sure they are able to receive all their tickets.

• For this job position I would stand near the entrance to greet each guest and help them navigate Main Event about where everything was located and the deals and prices of all the activities. I would also answer an questions the guest had so that way they can feel more comfortable and knowledgeable about Main Event. I would also communicate with the bowl attendants about the wait times for bowling and communicate with the party host to let them know their guest have arrived. When guest would leave I would thank them for coming and that I hope they had a fun time and to hope they will come back. And on occasions I would help keep the front area clean and help keep the pool table area clean and kept tidy.

• I started the first semester of my junior year in high school as an intern teacher's aide in a 3rd-grade class at Robert .L. Crippen Elementary. I would help the teacher with activities for the students, and I also worked with students in individual groups to help them with reading and other class assignments. I would run errands for the teacher during the class so that way she did not have to leave the students unattended or I would help her prepare for the day's lesson while she tended to the students. The errands were printing worksheets, going to the library for books, and going to the teacher's lounge to check her box. In my second semester, I was an Intern teacher's aide for an 8th-grade class at White Oak Middle School. It was a technology applications class and I would help students that were having computer problems, I would also help the teacher with the student grading and help students with class projects. I would also run errands for the teacher and occasionally I would teach lessons for the class.
