What I initially thought would just be a summer job turned out to be an enriching experience. Being CPR and lifeguard certified, I became a camp guard for my town pool. The town camp would come to my pool during the week when I worked, and I formed new connections with many children. During the summer, I also taught these children swim lessons. My tedious job soon became a rewarding one, as I was able to teach children how to swim. I gave the children individual and group swim lessons, and I helped them accomplish their goals. Assisting children in basic tasks such as holding their breath underwater or floating on their back’s was extremely rewarding. Working as a lifeguard during the day and a swim instructor in my free time exemplified
During the summer I volunteered at a summer camp and I took care of kids for about 8 hours daily
I started lifeguarding because it was a natural transition from being a year round competitive swimmer since I was nine years old. I thought it would be a great full time summer job my sophomore year being that most people under the age of 16 find it challenging to get a part time job.
I continued to work with youth in my next job at the Anasazi Foundation in Mesa, Arizona, where I held a position as a counselor for a wilderness rehabilitation program. This position was a favorite because I was able to spend a great
When I'm not in school I have Since my freshman year I have been doing marching band. As a sophomore I took my position as a upperclassman to help my freshman to the best of my ability. I help the freshman in my section to read drill, marching techniques, and how to play the music. While doing that I also do activities with my Girl Scout troop. I have been in Girl Scouts since the 4th grade and that has been a wonderful learning experience. From learning the ways of sales, to taking educational trips around the state i have grown in skill and character. Also for the last 3 years I have been the 2nd in highest cookie sales so that has been been very beneficial. Then during the summer I volunteer at the Durham Art's Council's Summer Camp as
In being a camp leader, and helping out during classes I carried out my passion for working with children. At a young age I was intrigued with children and wanted to be around them. I've learned patience in working with children and learned that I want to pursue a career in which I can be an advocate for children. My passion for children is what has made me want to pursue a career in being a family
My job was called, an athletic trainer's assistant/water girl. The other two girls and I, as well as the athletic trainer at times, worked together as a team.

The trainer eventually got a job just for my school and became a teacher and the athletic trainer for all sports at the
As a freshman in high school I got interested to get involved in the city as a youth commissioner.

The summer before my junior year in college and for the next three years, I was a part-time nanny for a 10-year-old girl who was diagnosed with ADHD. I did this on a full-time basis during the summers. This job gave me an understanding of the effects of medication (Ritalin) on behavior. These experiences gave me a strong background in working with a diverse group of children.
When thinking about what career I wanted to pursue, I knew that I wanted to work with children and be able to make a difference in their lives. Volunteering has been a passion of mine since I was young, and as I have grown up I came to the realization that the opportunities I have enjoyed the most and felt that I made
During the summer, I worked at my aunt's coffee shop. I learned how to work with money and how to deal with customers. I also learned how to keep a business organized, keep inventory, follow step by step procedures, and keep records. Currently I am working as a soccer referee for children ages 3-9.In the summer of ninth grade, I took a course over the summer called waterbotics. In that class, I designed, built, programmed, and learn how to maneuver the robot in water. I had to come up with my own designs and rebuild, and reprogram the robots
This job also gives me a chance to impact the lives of the campers I am working with. I am doing this by helping them have the experiences and memories every child deserves. They are learning social behaviors and how to interact and build relationships. This camp gives these kids a sense of normalcy and fun. I have built relationships with children who had started off not liking me but by the end of a week of camp they are comfortable and have fun with me. They know they will always have a place at Camp Munroe and I love being a part of that experience for
