NATPNATAP is a Nursing Assistant Training Program, where they teach you the necessary skills to become a CNA(Certified Nursing Assistant). First semester we learned out of a book. For second semester we had to do hands-on training, so we had to go to Lindsay Gardens to help take care of the residents.

TutoringDuring senior year I joined a class called careers in education. In this class you learn the basic skills to become a teacher. During second semester we started going to elementary schools to tutor. I got to to Washington in a bilingual class and tutor a 1st grade class, I helped them in learning how to spell, and proofread their papers.

SciconSCICON, which stands for, "School of science and conservation", is a school where 6th graders stay for five days to learn about conservation. I was a counselor there my junior and senior year. I had to take care of a small group of students, and wake them up on time, make sure they brush their teeth, make sure they all got at least 2-minute showers, take them to the restroom, make sure they all went to bed, make sure they all stayed together and not get lost, ect. My junior year I went the first week of June, June 1st to June 5th(my birthday), and I took care of 12 students by myself, and it was a bit challenging at first since I've never done that before, but then I got the hang of it, and my cabin won the cheer. My Senior year my co-counselor and I took care of 10 students and it was more easier since we both helped one another. SCICON was really fun I meet a lot of new people, made new friends, got to be a leader, learn new things, walk more, plus many other, and I would go again if I ever get another chance to go.

Choir Club and ConcertDuring my Junior year, had choir class. A few weeks later our teacher decided to make a club and he had us all join it. And we sold cookie dough to raise money for our field trip(I sold 3 boxes). For our field trip we were going to compete against other schools, but them our teacher said that we weren't ready so we just went and watched the other schools instead, and then we went to the mall for 2 hours and later came back to school. Even though we did not get to compete against other schools, we did get to perform at our concert that we had in our school, in the cafeteria on the stage, we performed for everybody who went.

Drama ClubDuring my Freshman and Sophomore year me and my friend Adriana joined drama club because we were new to Lindsay High School and we wanted to get involved in a school activity, and we chose this club because we were already in the class and we liked the class, so why not joined the club too. In this club we would help organize and plan the talent show, help in food booths and we also helped in a play, I helped to paint the background in one of the scenes for the play.
