Additional Information
Although I have been out of the work force for some time now, in my off years, I managed to run my own home-based baking business known as Sweet'ums for approximately 3 years in which I gained experience both the business aspect and furthered my knowledge of providing top customer service. After some thought I decided to re-enroll in school to pursue admittance into the nursing program. Despite my high grades and scores, I didn't secure a spot on the list which leads me seek employment once again in the school district.
