Hello my name is Janelle. I attend Cambridge Ringe and Latin and am currently a junior. I love to go shopping, party, relax, and skate, but my passions are music and basketball. I have played 3 years of basketball at Ringe and was captain this past season. Since 8th grade, I’ve been involved in YPP. I heard of it through a group of friends at my elementary school. I went to the worksite a couple of times and liked what I saw and wanted to do it right away. I’ve been working every since. I enjoy working with the younger kids. Seeing them showed me the importance of being a good role model because the children do truly look up to you.
When I first started working, I had co-workers, but now I have family, I normally take time off when I have basketball and can’t wait to come back to work when it’s done. YPP has helped me grow as a person and some things about me would not be the same if I didn’t work here. I started as a MLW (math literacy worker) and hope to soon be a CMLW (college math literacy worker).
