STUFF ABOUT ME:
Every morning I wake up at 5 am to get ready to make the hour commute to my school in boyle heights, a low income community in east LA. I tutor in a classroom from 8-1:30 then help run an after school program from 2:30-5:30. This, of course, is a brief summary of what I do and if you could only see the blood, sweat, and tears that go into my job on a daily basis you might be a little shocked. Fridays and saturdays are the days I get to relax, and by relax I mean spend my day beautifying a school or cleaning a park. Sunday I write lesson plans and get 8 hours of sleep (4 more than I sleep every other day of the week) as I dream about the next day at school.
I am truly proud of the service I have provided and can say that this experience has opened my eyes to the astonishing efforts young people can make in one year.
Give a year. Change the world.
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:
I may be young, but I am passionate and dedicated to my cause. :D PLEASE VOTE!

Happy April, CR friend!
