I was invited to work here by the head Organizer of the Yearbook Committee for my High School thanks to my networking during my aforementioned apprenticeship with the resources manager of my school. I am currently in charge of a group of members responsible for receiving photos of Sports Teams at Beacon High School. Alongside that, I work on the respective pages in the yearbook for team sports & their respective seniors. We meet every Monday, however, I work with the head organizer everyday as to coordinate the students that I am responsible for.

I mainly use a spreadsheet to organize coach names and emails, as well as their game schedules. I have a "secretary" that also assists me with my work & contact.

Our task was to conjure a group of students to commit to counting steps on their way to school & to observe the dangers that they witness whilst going on their commute. We would then take this information and inspire a PSA video about traffic safety. A high placement would have a cash prize, with 1st place receiving $1000, 2nd receiving $750, and 3rd place receiving $500.

I had worked with a friend of mine to network and organize this competition with the help of our selected teacher. We had attempted to obtain a group to work on this, but unfortunately, we were unable to procure a group by the deadline. Despite this failure, however, I was able to teach myself social networking, leadership, speaking, and planning skills. I now know the dedication needed to obtain a hyper-coordinated group.

I worked in the Physical Therapy department at Jamaica Hospital for a month between July and August. My main jobs consisted of sanitization, following patients with the wheelchair when preforming a walking exercise, and various errand work to rooms or the Ambulatory Surgery Unit to assist the Physical Therapists with exercises. I was also in charge of receiving calls regarding appointments for patients. I was able to socialize directly with patients and got to know a few personally until their discharge.

I also participated in exercises regarding the introduction of new machines such as the Bungee Mobility and Sit-to-Stand Assist Trainers during their respective sessions. I was commended for my interest.

Assistant for my high school's Tech & Resources Manager.

Labors include printing jobs, printer maintenance, organization across school & storage rooms, deliveries, stamping & coding of books purchased by the school, and occasional book pick-ups for copies that are not being used in a syllabus.

I have worked for this job since late September 2023, and will plan on working this same job during my senior year of high school. I receive constant appraise from teachers, most whom have not taught me, and I take pride in the work that I produce.

I am given graduation credit for these endeavors. I do, however, clock in more hours than what is required to receive the credit. (54 hours is required to receive 1 credit for a semester. I achieved 3x this amount during the fall semester, clocking in at 154.5 hours by the last day.)
