Teacher, Teaching Assistant, & Counselor
July - August 2018 • Princeton, NJ
What I liked
There was always some opportunity to make myself useful no matter what time of day it was.
What I wish was different
I wish there could be a bit more time between activities so that, for example, we wouldn't have to leave class early just to make it to lunch on time.
Advice
As a counselor, you get only 7 hours off duty each night to shower, sleep, and get ready in the morning. So it's definitely a job for coffee lovers and power nappers.
