Summary
I’ve achieved my goals as far as educating the children. I’ve worked with and teaching them about things they were going to need in their younger lives, growing and prospering. Working with children is my passion steel they can be taught anything things that you don’t want them to know and things that you do want them to know so you have to be very careful of how you act and what you say around a child that is so important but my achievement is that I’ve learned from them and they’ve learned from me that was one of my best achievements. I love the children.
