If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

2 poems·Since October 2014

I am well rounded so therefore it will benefit the school because I am open to different perspectives and to try new things. My mother kept me in a lot of programs during the year and wanted me to work in the summer for the Summer Youth Employment to keep myself busy and develop different skills. I worked at Perry Street Prep School from June 2011 to August 2011. I worked as a first grade teacher’s assistant. The tasks included graded papers instructing lessons for the students, socializing with the students during lunch, planning and organizing activities and supervising my first grade class of students. Two years later, I worked at Emery Recreation Center from June 2013 to August 2013. I was as an Office Assistant because I thought one day I might want to start my own business. I filed documents, handled all incoming emails and phone calls, entered data and computer Work, answered customer service questions, delivered messages, and prepared payroll checks for Ward 3 and 4 Summer Youth Employment Program employees. My current interest are Criminal Justice and Political Science. I want to be a prosector and bring justice to those who need it.
