Professional Summary
I graduated May of 2023. During my senior year, I did community service hours, and which I completed 75 hours in total. In order for me to graduate and get my last credits, my principal assigned me to two teachers; one was for high school and the other teacher was a pre-school teacher. I assisted them by helping kids with their class and homework, grading papers, and even tutored after school. During this time I developed better communication skills and improved on things such as having patience with kids, and problem-solving skills.
