I am very interested to work as a PARA to continue my work with children in a school setting. I have worked with the Boys and Girls Club as a intern in college and continued working there after graduation. I feel I have the experience to work in the school system and to be able to assist teachers in the classroom. I enjoy working with children and preparing them for the future with guidance and positivity.
