ACTIVITIES
I am passionate about my role as lead counselor at Seek Camp, a camp for exceptional campers. The

first two weeks of June I spend counseling individuals with special needs. I have volunteered at this

camp for the past six years and I plan to continue volunteering for many more years. My goal is to

eventually become a director at Seek Camp. I attend First Baptist Church of Whitesboro on Sundays and

Wednesdays. I am a Sunday school teacher to the boy’s class, ages eight to twelve. I also volunteer my

time on Wednesday nights as a youth group sponsor. Serving these students is one of my greatest joys. I

enjoy playing tennis and running in my free time.
