I volunteered for 5 hours every 7 days to take care of wildlife and maintain it. I worked in a preservation in Palo alto where they taught me how to work in a group to sustain wildlife and preserve it. I learned to work in callous conditions and adapt due to how different the places we would have to plant trees were. I learned to problem solve and maintain a cool head under the biggest stress. I was a leader and instructed my group a lot on what roles they had to play and how much time we had to do it.

I alongside a partner took care of 15 5th graders 23 hours a day. I was responsible for the saftey and well being of all the kids. I had to make sure they woke up in time to go eat and were following directions. I had to dicipline them as well as comfort them whenever they felt home sick. This taught me great leadership skills as well as to have alot of patience. I had to also ensure that the kids all felt safe and took their medicine before they went to bed.
