Please describe any work you have done in the area of youth leadership development.
While participating in Big Brother Big Sister of Alabama I ensured that the students assigned to me weren't just enriching academically, I also provided beneficial life skills that are needed in order to make good decisions and become future leaders. I did this by talking to them individually, mapping out their future goals and making sure they understood what it means to become successful in life.
What knowledge have you gained from your experiences in serving your school, church or community?
Community service puts me out of myself and allows me to see a different part of myself. I am able to humble myself through community service and gain a greater appreciation of the great lives that so many of us lead and deem to be "normal". I take pride in knowing that I am helping affect someone's life.
Why do you want to work for the CDF Freedom Schools program?
I can personally attest the benefits received from attending summer enrichment programs as a youth. The mission of CDF is to create safe, nurturing educational environments that set high expectations for children which to me makes CDF unique among other summer enrichment programs. CDF infuses the minds of children by teaching them how to fall in love with reading. Most importantly, being an intern I will improve the life of children while enriching my own life experience.

I have the attributes of being organized, dependable, patient, and creative in any given setting. In addition to being knowledgeable about the subjects I teach, I have the ability to communicate, inspire trust and confidence, and motivate students, as well as understand the students' educational and emotional needs.
What are your expectations as a result of your participation with a CDF freedom School Site?
I expect to impact freedom school participants academically and emotionally with my commitment to youth empowerment and leadership. Another expectation is to have an everlasting effect on many of the children who attend CDF freedom school. Leaving CDF freedom school with knowledge and tools to affect the lives of children I impact in my community.
