objective
I wish to enter a field of library work both as a chance to pay off my student loans with the Federal Work Study program and a means to gain experience in the workplace.
Some of my main strengths include compassion and understanding, able to help people with their problems and keeping my composure when dealing with even the hardest tasks. I gained these strenghs from hours of volunteer service.
Work Experience
Volunteer Worker (07/23/2010 – 07/23/2010)

Interests
I am interested in community service for the sheer joy of helping others in need. I also love free writing in my spare time, and plan to do a lot of it in the future, along with my career choice.
I also have participated in my school's broadcasting club, which makes the daily live newscasts for the students. I have always wanted to be on television and to work with hardworking people, something I find most beneficial to me as a worker and as a person.
I was also a member of the Speech Team as a public speaker and dramatic actor. I have grown to love acting and public speaking, and the hard work and dedication that comes along with it.
