Holden Gant
I am a student who will be attending CSU in the upcoming year. Previously, I worked throughout high school as a lifeguard. Through this experience, I've gained many valuable skills, many of which are applicable to other areas of professional life. While I feel I posses a natural patience, I have learned the importance of urgency, punctuality, and what it means to get things right the first time. I have also done well in challenging myself academically, as shown with my achievement of the International Baccalaureate Diploma. This academic element of my life has honed my skills as an open minded and dedicated problem solver, which translates well into almost any work environment. My experience, in collaboration with a personality uniquely suited to handle stressful situations, makes me a valuable asset to any team, regardless of a job's nuance.
