Summary

Aim to help other individuals and helping them better themselves. Willing to learn new information and can be trained. Have nothing on my background stopping me from succeeding at my goals. Collaborated with clients inside Pine Ridge, which made me look at the fact that I am willing to work with others at all types of level. Seeing how wiling I am to help random people wherever I go; lets me know that my purpose in life is to help one another. My greatest experience is what I am doing right now; working on an ACTT Team. This has been the best experience so far! Able to succeed at my purpose; helping individuals through their struggles. Whether it be helping them with their house duties, being able to live in society and helping through the challenges that they are facing.

Also learnt how to say no to an individual and not feel guilty for doing so. Working on a team has taught me so much
