I had the opportunity to work with high school seniors. I really enjoyed this experience. While being there, i was given a list of students who have no started their Financial Aid or thought about college. While meeting these students, i was able to get to know them and hear their story. Some of them touched my heart with their drive to go to college no matter what their situation given at home. I helped two students start their ASU application, and then i helped three more students start their Financial Aid. I plan on seeing two of the same students next week to check on them and their progress.

I worked in the Tempe College Connect office. During my time there, I proof read a mentors flyers that we used to show our statistics from the last year. I also did research on FAFSA and got a folder to prepare for when I work with Mountain Pointe High School seniors to help them with their financial aid.
At College Connect, i met a few of the regulars that visit the Teen Center. We talked about hobbies, interests, and what some of the students want to study in college.
I met with Mountain Pointe High School's guidance counselor, where we talked about meeting every Friday. I will meet with seniors and discuss their future after high school.
Everyone was super welcoming and helpful. We were given a tour and a run down of what to expect for this semester.
You painted a great picture of the support you provided and the students you worked with. Sounds like you are making a great impact already!
