I am a dedicated and industrious student working hard to achieve academic success. Not only do I volunteer my time to causes in need, I also earn a salary working part time jobs and utilizing the federal work study program at my college. My creative and logical mind have allowed me to balance my personal life with the many reponsibilities of being a student, volunteer, and employee.
