As a volunteer, I have aided and participated in the performances of

The Pageant of Our Lord, which involves dealing with people of all ages. I

offered my assistance in washing the make-up sponges and applying the make-

up to models, mixing paint and refilling bottles. I am also a model,

performing the remakes of various works of religious art as a painting or a

sculpture. Recently, I have been an artist, painting models in order to

recreate those pieces as well, which is a task that requires a lot of focus

and patience when dealing with other people. It is, in a way, a position of

authority, as I need to instruct the models on what to do, when they need

to be made up, how to get into their position, etc.

Self-published Author

I wrote three novel-length stories for an international, online

activity called National Novel Writing Month where, through the month of

November, participants are to write a fifty-thousand word novel. As a prize

for achieving this goal, I received a discount code for a free proof of my

novel, to be edited in the months after the designated writing month.

Through www.createspace.com, I was able to publish my novel and sell it via

Amazon.com and an e-store on the site itself, both of which offering me

royalties for each book sold.

Literary Magazine Editor

While at El Camino, I enrolled in a class called English 30. I joined

six or seven other students there for an entire semester which we spent

compiling submissions, reading, editing and rating art, poetry and short

stories into a small literary arts magazine which we called Myriad. I did

this for two semesters (the class was only available in spring), and at the

end we would host a reading and invited the many students that were

accepted into the journal that year to read their work. It is still one of

my favorite classes. It not only taught us to work as a team but gave us a

hands-on way of learning what it takes to produce a literary journal, as

well as answer e-mails in a professional manner, and manage our time

effectively in order to get everything done in an efficient manner.

Other Activities: Reading, Writing, Organizing Schedules, Myriad
