Summary

As a 16 year old high school student currently enrolled in dual credit classes, I am trying to get ahead in my coursework and learn life skills outside of school. If I have any free time, I like babysitting, pet sitting, tutoring, and helping out family with various jobs. I try to use my time effectively and I am motivated to use my time in working toward my development. I look for experiences that allow me to be responsible, learn something, and help someone who needs it.

Extracurricular activities

Being in DECA has provided me excellent skills in customer service, communication, and business knowledge. Helping as a volunteer softball coach allowed me to develop my teamwork and leadership abilities. As a babysitter, tutor, and pet sitter, I learned about responsibility, time management, and remaining calm under pressure. I enjoyed participating as a member of both Art Club and Agriculture Club so that I could educate myself on my artistic abilities working collectively with others. All of these activities shape me into being reliable, laid-back, and willing to help within a fast-pace environment.
