- Indicate if you are currently working with or hope to work with school children/youth/adolescents and in what capacity. ANSWER: I currently am not working with any school children. I hope to one day teach a physical education class in a school. Prior to the pandemic I was a Dancer at Bar/ Bat Mitvah’s. So I guess in some capacity I did work with school children, but not in a school setting.
