So that pretty much is a high school career. I really want to be an engineer.
As far my Gap Year: In the Summer I will do ReBuild NJ. I will be trained and certified in certain construction tasks and then lead groups of volunteers in the effort to build homes for families that lost their homes in Hurricane Sandy.
I’m now doing City Year. I will be assigned to a Title 1 High School where I will help students that are in danger of dropping out bridge the “GAP”. I am be a teacher, tutor and mentor to those kids.
Really nervous please chance.
