Accomplishments
Well, within my accomplishments, I would say maintaining to balance between 3 jobs and school to make ends meet. I would also add my volunteer work at my church, and my personal caretaking role is for my mother. who is disabled and has been since I was the age of 6. To be completely truthful, though, my biggest achievement is learning how to deal with mental health and following in my faith!
Certification
i have my PCA certificate.
Extracurricular activities
I played volleyball for 9 years until I tore ligaments in both my feet and had a severe concussion, so I was not able to proceed in my career. I hang out with my friends, but mainly during study sessions. Otherwise, we go out and go to Top Golf and bowling quite a bit!
