Employee of the month! My name was announced and I was surprised. Surprised, because what I received this recognition for required no effort.

Plus, I feel very competent around computers and would like to help people who are not computer savvy.
Speaking about helping others, I’ve scanned the Seattle University website to find available volunteer opportunities, and I was pleased to see numerous options. I’m easy going, patient and enjoy working with others, so, I will happily apply for many; however I’m, especially drawn to the “participate in or leading a service
