Champion schools have a very unique philosophy that drives their focus. It takes passionate people to lead an establishment so set apart from those around them. Sports engrain a strong sense of discipline in people and can create a passion in children to compete in life in order to succeed rather than just survive. I am passionate about caring for and helping children succeed in life. I have a strong desire to serve the youth in phoenix in order help them realize their potential and the hope for their lives. I love people deeply, which is enough motivation for me to do all that I can to care for them and work well with them. I am eager to learn, which makes me easy to lead. I would like to be a teaching assistant and work with fifth or sixth graders. I am available for an interview any time on Saturday, after 2pm on Thursday, after 4pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednsday and Friday. Thank you so much for your consideration! I look forward to hearing from you.
