"I love being helpful to students in my community. I almost see this role more as an an extra curricular activity than a job, because I have so much fun on some days! There are rough times every now and then, when the work piles up and I feel overwhelmed by too many people needing my assistance. But for the most part, this is a very fulfilling job for a college student."
