Makenzie Fontaine
I am hard working, motivated, adaptable, and creative. I am constantly learning and improving myself and my skills by challenging myself with harder course work and exploring things outside of my comfort zone. A lot of my skills come from experience I've had in the past with pet sitting and babysitting, and especially with working at MCC. MCC taught me many things and helped improve my communication, patience, time management, and teamwork through conservation work that I did alongside my fellow members and team leaders.

Accomplishments
I believe one of my main accomplishments is finishing a short story in 8th grade. It was the first story I ever truly finished though that doesn't mean I hadn't started any before that. I believe that this was a great accomplishment for me since most of the novel ideas that I started or had the entire plot to but didn't have the time necessary to write the entire book have never been finished. My short story wasn't the longest as it was only 17 pages but I was very proud to have completed my first story.
