Accomplishments

One of my unique accomplishments was during my high school years I was accepted into the volunteer program at the columbus zoo. five hundred candidates applied but only one hundred and fifty individuals were chosen. I was one of the ones chosen for my diligence, people skills and knowledge of animals at the zoo. I volunteered for five years and did work that was wide ranging. From simple acts of cleaning up after people and animals at the zoo. Too helping file paperwork and feed animals at the zoo including wolves,bears, elephants and more. Through these years i learned a lot on how to deal with people and business along with tense situations. This improved my life greatly and made me a better man because of it.
