A little bit about me

My name is Janiya Morris, and I’m 16 years old. I’m a dedicated and friendly person who enjoys helping others and staying active, especially during the summer. I have volunteer experience working with children at the Chicago Park District, where I helped organize activities, supervised groups, and made sure everyone had fun in a safe environment. That experience helped me become more responsible, patient, and team-oriented. I’m known for being dependable, easy to work with, and always willing to step up when something needs to get done. I’m excited to keep building my skills and making a positive impact wherever I work.
