5. I was in a social club called Ladyz of Etiquette, every month we had to do community service, holidays for the kids.
We always went to the shelter or go on the street and give lunches to the homeless people. We went to hospitals to
give easter baskets to the disable. Which was awesome because they had the biggest smiles on their faces.
Volunteering

6. Treasure Island
Treasure Island was my second job.
My mother best friend knew the
manager and I was in just like that. I
started off as a bagger my hourly
wage was 5.50 working for 4 to 6
hour. I was making no money. I
couldn't survive off this little pay and
kept going up and down.

7. I.C Stars
The reason why I am a member of I.C Stars is because I push myself to
learn more then what I know. I need more under my belt then just being
security or a bagger at a grocery store. I want to own my own business, I
would love to make my own website and apps. I am striving to be the best
leader as well. I.C Stars was the best choice for me and I am happy to be
apart of the team.
