      Teachers Assistant

      I taught two weather labs each semester. I would go over and further go into detail the lessons they had learned in class that would help prepare them and make them better understand the material. I would help assist and teach the material using lab manuals.

      Eagle Scout Boy Scouts of America Nov 2005 Becoming an Eagle scout was a long road with many learning experiences. Along with learning about the typically thought of fields first aid, camping, hiking, etc. I also learned how to be a leader. I learned how to lead a group but also how to work along with others, to listen and collaborate ideas so that the right course of action for all could be made. I learned about responsibility and team building skills as well.
