This encompassed volunteering in activities such as cleaning specific rooms and general areas at Lake Howell High School and helping some staff members from the same institution with anything that they needed, from assistance to being messengers. Additionally, I actively participated in events hosted by the high school, contributing to their success and fostering positive community relations.
