My Project

Young minds are amazing! As an elementary school counselor, I have the best job ever! I get to work with kids everyday between the ages of four and ten. They are like sponges and take in so much knowledge everyday. My focus is to teach, what I think, are the most important lessons of life: love, caring, respect, gratitude, integrity, responsibility, empathy, kindness, and the list goes on and on.

With the help of Donor's Choose, I will be able to provide the much needed life lessons and character traits that parents are not focused on in today's fast-paced world!

Through the books and crafts, I will aim to instill positive values and moral principles so that children will develop into caring, responsible citizens of society.
