I graduated from Stephen Decatur High school class of 23 after high school Ive spent my summer working at a kids go kart track and also volunteering at my local recreation center when they had food and clothing drives. My experience is in relationships I’ve built with the children at the recreation center over my time volunteering, Also helping kids deal with issues that they faced at school . I’ve had teachers that cared for me so much when I was younger that I still remember them to this day. Mrs.Bullock was the best teacher I ever had she was interesting and kept learning engaging and I would like to provide that for future generations so one day a kid can write about me and hopefully get the same fun experience as I did!
