=Assisting Others= __Class__ I have assisted another student with how to create new pages on the Wiki, as well as editing the navigation panel on the left hand side of the screen. I was happy to help, and it made me realize that I had perhaps learned more than I thought, since I am still new to the understanding of editing my own Wikis. While my knowledge might be fairly basic, I was glad that I can navigate my own page and help others to do the same. __Other__ One of my main ongoing reminders of why I want to be a teacher is my experiences helping others. Through my youth group I am involved with many girls across the province at any age ranging from 11 up to 21. Several of them struggle with various subjects in high school, from chemistry to math to physics. As an older girl and one who is familiar with these subjects they often came to me for help. As a big sister to them, I loved helping them and getting them to that level of understanding where they could solve problems on their own. I don't ask for anything in return, but the happiness I get from helping is the fuel I have to know that I am making a positive difference.

=Volunteering= __International Order of the Rainbow for Girls__ This youth group, affiliated with the Masonic Fraternity is a group very close to my heart as I have been involved as a member since the age of 7. Though I officially aged out this past summer, I plan on devoting lots of time as an Advisor to this group to aid the girls in my local community grow and learn through the public speaking and charity activities several times a year. __Extra-curricular Activities__ As a student I was always involved in several types of extra-curriculars. I found it always was easier to keep on task when I had so many things on the go. I have continued that this year by becoming President of the Student Council for the Consecutive program. Just a few of the activities I was involved in during high school were: swim and softball varsity teams, Cancer Drive Week, concert band, and tutoring fellow students in both Science and Math. I hope that I can reach out to some students outside of class by being involved in at least one or two similar activities as a teacher.
