\nMy first two years here I was not very involved on campus and this year I have tried to change that. This year I am an intern in the DOSL office and a Peer Advisor for the College of Public Health and Human Sciences. This summer I will work as a START orientation leader and in the fall I will be a U-Engage Peer Leader. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to gain valuable leadership and teamwork skills from all these great positions.
\nAfter graduation I hope to be able to get a job with College Possible in Portland. College Possible is a non-profit organization that helps low-income, and usually first generation college students get into and succeed in university. I learned about College Possible at a career fair on campus and was intrigued. I researched it more on my own and became determined to gain a position there after graduation. After working for a year or two, I will go to graduate school and hopefully get into a career that provides me the opportunity to help high school and college students.
\nP.S. This picture of me is taken at Niagara Falls, which was a very beautiful place. If you ever get the chance to go, don’t pass it up! That\u2019s all I\u2019ve got for now. Have a great and productive Week 7 and good luck as we head into Week 8!
