My presence in each of these businesses were short lived due to my active nature during senior year. I juggled supporting my family financially with participating in DE College classes, representing several clubs as an officer, and completing 100 hours of community service through the management of NBH's jv and varsity soccer clubs. My lack of longevity in these positions didn't jeopardize my team building or skill learning, as I have a solid understanding of the retail and food industries. I have made many positive relationships within these companies to support this. I've recently sworn an oath to the USAF, and expect to receive a ship out date by the beginning of fall. As our relationship may be short lived as well, I look forward to the possibility of creating a lasting relationship during the months I have left in this precious town which I have always called home.
