Summary
I've been working since I was 15 and through that I've learned to hone into people skills and how to effective communicate with any and all people. Throughout high school I maintained a 3.8 GPA throughout working while managing social connections. I've earned several scholarships, one of them being my Trenton Polish scholarship made towards academically achieved and well rounded students of polish decent.
I know I will be an excellent CA as I will fulfill the role extending into all aspects of the student's physical, social, emotional, educational, and psychological well-being.
