Hired on a need basis. I work with a local gardener and I demonstrated adaptability in working under various weather conditions while maintaining high-quality results in assigned tasks. I Ensured timely completion of seasonal gardening tasks such as planting, weeding, raking, watering and cutting the grass. Working in nature is difficult yet relaxing at the same time. It is also great to see the fruits of your labor when the flowers blossom, and the herbs and vegetables grow.

Attended an orientation with over 50 teens where we were asked to participate and share our thoughts on art, personas, and colors, I was one of the 12 students selected to attend this twelve-week, after school program that sought to critically engage teens by having us interact with contemporary art and culture that focuses on the intersection of gender, race, class, and sexuality. Highlights included: connecting with other students from different schools, meeting guest artists such as Puppies Puppies, making art, and having discussions about art.

I picked up an elementary school aged boy afterschool, took the train with him and dropped him off at his home 2 times a week for a span of six months. The school was not near my school so it involved travel, schedule, and time coordination. I picked him up rain or shine.

I reshelved books at the public library which involved interacting with the library patrons and assisting them with whichever book they needed.
