ABOUT ME

Hi friends ! My name is Kennedy Elliott, I am currently a senior at Hilliard Bradley High School. I am a pretty outgoing and easy to get along with. Something I value a lot is seeing the good in all people. I like to involve myself in a few extra curricular activitites such as soccer , spanish club, younglife and etc. My plan after highschool is to attend college and study either information technology or computer engineering. I really love technology! I know you are all probably confused as to why I mentored a second grade teacher huh ? Well the truth is, before I started this journey ... I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grow up! It is also hard to pick a carrer feild to mentor in when you are completely clueless about your future. That's when I decided education seemed fun. Why not try it out ! It has been a long, fun journey let me tell you... and although this is not what I am planning on doing for the rest of my life, what I learned will impact the rest of my life... (if you are curious, please follow along in my blogs) :)
