About
MY BACKGROUND
My name is Priscilla Russel and I am from a small town called South Lyon.I have a younger brother and two loving and supportive parents. I was on the cheer team for all four years of high school and took gymnastics and tumbling classes outside of school. Music is something that is very important to me. I have been playing piano for 11 years and guitar for 3. Music is really calming to me and is a place I can go when I need a break or when I just want to relax and have fun.
I currently attend Schoolcraft Community College and plan to transfer to Michigan State University in 2 years. I am planning on pursuing a career in Physical Therapy and majoring in Kinesiology .

Career Objective
I have always loved working with kids from a young age. I went through babysitters training and became certified in CPR when I was 12 because I was so eager to start working with kids. Later on I became very interested in the medical field. The human body is amazing and I loved learning about everything it can do and how it works. This is when I decided to become a pediatric physical therapist. My neighbor is in this field of work and she offered for me to come shadow her, after doing this I was very sure this is what I want to do with my life. I plan to go to School-craft community college and get my gen eds out of the way and then transfer to Michigan State University will I will major in Kinesiology.
Interview Questions
If a customer asked you a question, and you didn't know the answer , what would you do?
I would listen to their question and then use my resources to find out the answer so I could tell them. I could either look it up on the internet or ask a manager or another person who might know.
What is your greatest strength? What is your greatest weakness?
My greatest strength is communication. I am very good at collaborating on group projects and talking to other people to figure out problems. My greatest weakness is that sometimes I get to into my work and I forget to take a break and then I feel tired and over worked.
Describe your school attendance record.
My school attendance record has been almost perfect every year. The only time I miss school is when I am sick which only happens once or twice a year. I even got the perfect attendance award in 8th grade.
Describe a problem that you've solved. How did you approach it? How did you solve the problem?
A problem I solved was when in cheer a girl was unable to stunt anymore and I had to step in and fly two days before our biggest competition. I approached the problem by staying after and coming before practice to learn the stunts and prepare myself. The problem was solved by me always showing up and not quitting until it was perfect. At that competition we ended up getting the highest score.
What three words would you use to describe yourself? Why?
Three words I would use to describe myself are dependable because whenever someone needs me or I make a commitment I always make sure to follow through, adaptable because I am quick to adjust to changes, and caring because I care about how people feel and don't ever want them to feel bad.
How many tennis balls can you fit in a limousine?
I know you can for sure fit at least 1 tennis ball, but in order to figure out the actual amount you would need to find the volume of the limousine and divide it by the volume of the tennis ball.
