“I liked how I got to meet students and interact with them in a safe environment and help impact their lives by helping them learn about college and higher education because most of the students come from low-income, first generational families and seeing their smiles was just awesome. In addition , working collaboratively alongside with the director of the program and my office co-workers was an amazing experience as it opened my eyes about what goes on in the program and makes me thank the program even more, especially when I use to be in the program.”
