San Francisco-sfsu Student,CA

Summary

I have increased my opportunities whether it be from communicating and using outside skills in sports teams my entire life. Wether it be from my swimming career or my water polo career, while also transferring those skills onto the takeout industry employed for a year and half at one of the busiest restaurant industries. While on top of being the youngest to be employed and promoted in the industry, these skills have now transferred to kickstart my college education, as I navigate graduating a year early, hopefully on the way to producing a bachelors degree at the age of 20. These occupations, volunteering, and overall participation within working with students, has granted an active responsible lifestyle.

Additional Information

To whom may it ever concern,

The processing of executing schooling on top of multiple high intensive work opportunities, whether it vary from two jobs working over twenty hour weeks for my second semester of Freshman year of college, while the eighteen units begin to slowly load over my shoulders, these skills, time management, and financially responsibility have created a slow churning effect to success. Now, currently the work load of three jobs toppling over fifteen units of mine, grant myself an even greater head space to navigate this next chapter of life.
