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.
