Additional Information
After the first several months, I began working at the school's front desk every day. Despite being a student, I get along well with older individuals. I have worked with teachers and administrators throughout the years, pitching in at events and taking on extra work for people when I had free time. Years later, after years of forming relationships and connections, I still lend a hand at my former school.
