Summary
Setting goals is a focus of mine as I navigate the wonders of my community. As a scholar, I seek knowledge from those around me in various parts of my life. As a future college student, I continue to focus on expanding both my verbal and oral communication skills. It would be my pleasure to continue work in a field which allows me to interact with the public while providing beneficial assistance to people in need.
