Swim Instructor

May - July 2019 • Tempe, AZ

What I wish was different

I wish the junior guards knew how to help more instead of making my job harder.

Volunteer

June 2016 - August 2018 • Tempe, AZ

What I liked

I loved working with the kids at the summer camp. Each kid was so eager to learn, and I felt honored to be teaching them about one of my favorite pastimes, acting.

What I wish was different

I wish that I could have gotten more leadership experience. I volunteered under two teachers, so I never really got to teach by myself.

Advice

I would say that when it comes to to teaching kids anything is to always be patient and firm. Sometimes it can take kids a while to understand what you want.
