What fears or anxieties did you have about going to college?

I have chosen to be a peer mentor for this population because I know the importance of a mentor and how helpful they can be, only my mother graduated high school and she always stressed that if she knew what the next step was she would've continued with school but unfortunately no one was there to guide her. My main anxieties about going to college were whether I was going to succeed or not, I had aways done good in school but college was definitely a big change, I was on my own with little guidance and this program helped me get connected with people who could help, and it showed me resources on campus for different needs.

 

My advice for first-get students is to be open to new ideas and join clubs/organizations as much as they can, they should also follow school social media to keep up with events and when it comes to classes keep a planner or something where they can best organize upcoming assignments and exams.

I enjoy my time reading, painting, and traveling. I like going on new adventures with friends and family.
