When I moved on to the University Transfer program at Columbia College after completing my high school courses, I was more prepared to take on university-level courses.
As a Student Services Assistant working part-time at Columbia College, I answered questions from students. I also entered data and helped plan events in Student Services. I loved being around people! I’ve developed important skills which will help me in my future career.
My advice for students is to go out of your lane. Get involved! Meet people. Go out there and volunteer. Get a job somewhere. Make friends that you wouldn’t expect to become friends with, because you never know who you’re going to meet, and you’ll meet awesome friends if you go out of your comfort zone.
