Working with STEP this past year has been an pleasant experience. Besides the amazing experience that I obtained from STEP, it has also given me reassurance of the path I am pursuing, and an excellent opportunity to meet and work with amazing students and staff members. STEP has given me an opportunity to be involved in my community and my campus. It has driven me to want to be more involved with similar organizations.
I have given STEP the help they needed to motivate the students to do better both academically and mentally. I feel that as STEP staff members our goal is to motivate and become examples to students who are undecided about going to college or who are planning on ending their education journey after high school. I do my best when students ask for advice or ask about college and the whole package. I personally believe that a students perspective can change when they get the chance to speak to someone (one-on-one) who has experienced what they want to know about and that is one of my favorite parts of my job; mentoring. I think all of us as staff members have contributed something to STEP on our own, but overall I think what we actually give back is interested students.
