Summary
Enthusiastically assisting and caring for friends, family, and community of various age groups, for over 40 years, could not have been possible without my God centered nature. My volunteer work as a teacher associate in an elementary school and my assisting with crafts for a local children’s library were a God given experience.
My God centered nature in caring for my children and grandchildren are my greatest achievements.
