The relationship I have with the STEP program is mutualistic , in that both parties benefit. What I provide is more on the tangible side. I consider myself a resource to my students as well to my superiors and co-workers. Not only in terms of academic support but emotional as well. We all know in life everything is not always black and white but contains multiple shades of gray.
I think that I give a sense of comfortability. I can break down certain barriers that come with this responsibility. In essence, I am a people person. I talk a lot and laugh a lot. I feel being able to communicate effectively is needed not only when you are working with students but just in life in general. I feel I bring that important dish to the table. What the STEP program has given to me, is something worth more than a check. It has given me opportunities to meet new people , introduced me to a whole new environment and allowed me to actually make a change in a student's life. Every day with the STEP program is a new learning experience. I know if I need anything I can go to the STEP office and they can help me get or at least point me in the right direction. I can truthfully say that I was grateful to be able to get involved in this type of program. The STEP Program really gives off a family vibe and I am so happy I got to be apart of it.
