Couselor and child care worker

June 2019 • Middletown, PA

What I liked

I enjoyed working with Children and going on fun field trips with them.

A more consistent schedule but it was not terrible!

Advice

I would suggest to find jobs that you enjoy because if you have a job that you do not like, it makes the time go a lot slower.

Mentoring Individuals in Science from Underrepresented Communities on Campus

June - September 2019 • Davis, CA

What I liked

Getting to speak to students who are new to UC Davis one on one, whom were just as confused as I was about the big campus, and help guide them to wonderful resources and connections on campus that can help them excel in school.

What I wish was different

None! I took this on as a volunteer with no expectations except to better someone's college experience.

Advice

Be proactive with offering assistance!! When you have something to offer, time, knowledge of resources, offer to read through application essays, even just an ear to listen, it can potentially make a big difference for someone who isn't as familiar to the campus. Who knows, you might make new friends, or hear about cool opportunities you can also benefit from!

Employee at Camp Oakhurst

May - August 2019 • Coarsegold, CA

What I liked

I went there as an internship (not getting paid) to an employee (who was paid. I Wasn’t the one to bring up working as an employee to the executive director, his wife brought it up to me because saw said, “your such a hard worker, you should get paid” Also the jobs they gave more were very different. Some were outdoors with activities and others were indoors, like kitchen and office. What I liked most was Lifeguarding and High ropes.

What I wish was different

When there was division between employees that I wanted to hang out with. This was not the camps fault it was just certain employees didn’t like others. Other than that I really liked this experience a lot!

Advice

Go into this job willing to work whatever is given. Try to see positive about most things because then you are more excited to work rather than being disappointed. The executive director tries to accommodate for your needs with days off and if you end up getting sick.
