If I had to choose one activity to pursue, I would go with activity number one: assistant at Drake Dental. I would choose this one primary because it involves helping others. “We rise by lifting others” is a quote that resonates with me as I believe strongly in its message. My job, while it may be insignificant compared to others around the office, involves helping others by making sure everything runs smoothly. Whether it be scheduling an appointment, or simply greeting the patient as they walk in, my job is to ensure that the patient feels satisfied with their dental experience.
Hi, i’m Jeffrey, a Mexican Jew who was blessed with the awesome job of being a security guard for El Shapo inc. My job is to help with the transporting and selling of “candy canes,” and that’s where my story begins. This morning was the same as any other morning; wake up early, brush my teeth with vodka and crushed lifesavers, eat a healthy bowl of Fruit Loops and expired soy milk. At least, it would’ve been a normal day but my way to the “candy” lab I received a text from my boss, Phil.
I was very loved and now I am very missed by the school and its educators. First, I taught in Bullhead, South Dakota and then in Little Eagle, South Dakota. In the area of Little Eagle and all of America Indian teachers were desperately needed, so I took matters into my own hands. I decided I would open a fund raiser up to get money for teacher education and for schools. When my son was 10 he had no teachers.

I have high expectations for my life, and plan on making a name out of myself, which requires my financial knowledge to be greater than many. My parents have been a crucial aspect in my life because even though they struggled in the beginning, they turned their mountain of debt and turned it into a beautiful life lesson, and they have taught me a great deal. Budgeting, managing money, and not relying on plastic is, in my opinion, key components in a financially stable environment. Difficulties tend to arise more often than we’d like, but knowing how to deal with this responsibility is a crutial.
My journey began when The Deron School hired me as a paraprofessional. I learned so much about myself in a classroom setting of diverse learners. First, my strong qualities, such as patience, flexibility to change, and positivity, were simply demonstrated for this position. I have witnessed staff members resign due to stress from unpredictable circumstances. However, I can simply understand the rough days which strengthens my performance to find a solution.
The two traits that have consistently separated me from most people my age is my work ethic and my focus. My work ethic mainly shows up in sports, and business as those were more of a focus for me than school. Growing up I had a love for basketball, I was not the tallest, strongest, or most athletic kid on the court ever. But I had more heart, and desire than anyone on that court. It showed in my high school career.
I struggled with my education since the age of nine. I lived in an abusive home for three years while changing schools constantly and later being transferred into the foster care system until my mother gained full custody of my siblings and I.

I have jumped obstacles and I will continue to thrive for success. By helping students with their academic goals, I will be able to provide students the opportunities that were given to me by different counselors.

Through years of following in my dad's shadows, and following directly in his footsteps, he led me right into the welding family. My dad welded his whole life and now works at a small shop making 32 dollars and hour, which inspired me to become a welder and follow my dreams of supporting a family and living a healthy life without worrying about payments. As I became older I began to realize the decision I had to make going into my junior year. While making a big decision in my life it was pretty easy considering the trips our school took to the CTC. Mr. Kearns talked to me for a little while by myself and he inspired me on the amount of money and the amount of jobs that are available in the welding field.
My internship was with the Boys and Girls Club LeBron James Clubhouse. I worked with students from the Akron area that were in less than ideal home situations and I saw a huge need for a positive role model in their life that was dedicated to working towards helping them succeed and advocating for them and their needs. It was after my experiences at the Boys and Girls Club that I decided my next step would be to follow in my mother’s footsteps and become a school
