I want to be a Connections Mentor, because I would like to be able to guide first year students as they adjust to college life. As a mentor, I will be able to direct students to various resources they may need. Additionally, I hope to serve as a peer mentor and provide them with information from a current student’s perspective about Texas Christian University. In my personal experience, the first several weeks of college were overwhelming. Each Connection’s meeting served as a refreshing break where I could get to know other freshman outside of my dorm and classes as well as learn different leadership skills. Overall, I would like to make future students Connections’ experience as rewarding and beneficial as mine was.
