Creativity, originality, helping everyone succeed, helping others. Red Cross Organization, EMS. I enjoy learning about things that I just don’t understand, that way I can be just a little bit more informed about the world I live in. I have been told that I can help lighten a mood in any situation, from formal meetings to just hanging around with people who don’t know each other all that well. I love to listen – not only to what’s being said by others, but also to people’s emotions and mood at the time. I have been told that I am easy to say things to, because I not only hear everything, but I understand and can give an impartial opinion that can be beneficial. Every year since college I have participated in my schools “Big Chill”, a 5k run to help raise toys for children for the holidays. Being a night owl, I get a lot if not most of my best work done in the evening. I also use humor as a situation diffuser to get things going in a positive direction. I also love working on computers; taking them apart and putting them back together just to learn how things work, a similar approach I take to most things in life. Og Mandino once said, “Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.” This is something I have always taken to heart and as a result, I always do my best no matter what endeavor I take. I always help out those who need it, and I always do whatever I can to make the world a better place, because I know in the end, I will be a better person for it as well.AKA/Common misspellings: John Soto, JC Soto, Jay SotoSpecialties: Leadership, Communications skills, Research, Computer Technology, Public Speaking, Microsoft Office
