i recently returned to school to finish a degree in psychology, and in the future, developmental, behavioral, or cognitive psychology. I am a very responsible individual, and pride myself on it. I live my life by the motto, “ if you decide to do something, you have to finish, and finish it the right way.” I am a very dedicated and fast learner and always willing to learn how to do new things. As a friendly, people person I enjoy communicating, and meeting new people everywhere I go. In middle school, and volunteer work I participate in, I had experience as a mediator, and believe that proper communication is a learned trait, and its very important to have such a trait in any social and living condition. As a bilingual individual, I believe in diversity and equal opportunities to all. Im very friendly, and enjoy working in a fast paced Read more environment, I am a multi-tasker, and really responsible. I love talking to people and helping people, one of the reasons why I can say i'm a team player. I enjoy working with children and teaching them things. I love the way their eyes light up when they do something i've taught them. I consider keeping track of milestones and encouraging development of these milestones very important. I've worked with children with developmental delays, and I enjoy working with these kids to find out what is the thing the gets their attention. I worked out ways to figure out what their learning style is and worked to help them cope and deal with behavioral problems that caused them to be delayed. To me, working this way is kind of like an instinct, there were very hard days, but the next day it was as if those things didn't happen and its a brand new start, which is really hard to do at times for some. I look forward to meeting a bunch of new little personalities as my professional development reaches its maximum. thank you for your time.
