DCMST Web Maintainance
Most of my time has been dedicated to the Dearborn Center for Math, Science, and Technology (DCMST). I enthusiastically volunteered to create a website for the math department of the DCMST and have maintained the website on a weekly basis since then. I was very eager to take on this responsibility and provide my service to this school. In order to do this, I've worked very cooperatively with my teachers, and have been very dependable in fulfilling their wishes.
I have benefited a great deal from these community service experiences. My technical proficiency has increased tremendously from maintaining the website on a weekly basis. I have become very knowlegable with many web builder programs along with other pieces of technology. I have also learned to work very coorperatively with other people. Working on the DCMST website has allowed me to offer imput while listening to the ideas of others. The best products are produced when this type of coorperation occurs.
"Santa Snaps" at the Festival of Lights
This community service experience was a valuable one because it allowed me to work with members of the Rotary Club. While helping, I got to entertain young children while making sure order was maintained.
