Millie Baird

I spent three weeks building a school in the Himalayas in India for children without access to proper education.

I demonstrated hard work and discipline during weeks of intense physical labor.

I was required to use communication skills and team work to collaborate with others on the worksite as well as people skills to interact with foreigners.

As a teacher's assistant, I demonstrated my reliability by being someone the teacher could always count on.

I was required to maintain and organize the classroom alongside grading assignments and other tasks.

I showcased my people skills through my ability to communicate with both the teachers and the students.

While being a team captain, I demonstrated leadership skills and acted as a positive role model for my teammates.

I showed my creativity and passionate personality through planning and coordinating team events.

I worked hard to create a great team environment through team-building activities, encouragement, and setting an example of having a positive outlook.
