Poet, Student Ambassador Tour Guide
As a poet I write what I see. Tour Guides paint a picture of what it's like living and going to college for new students
As a poet my days are spontaneous and require me to write it down. A day in the life of a college tour guide consists of the following: usually I get together with my fellow tour guides and we do an ice breaker team building exercise. Then it is off to greet new students and prospective students. Usually this concludes with me and the other tour guides offering the new students the opportunity to sit in with us and eat a communal meal so they can experience first hand a taste of college!
Here's the first step for everyone
As a poet write for school papers, literary journals, and take in as many positive social experiences as you can this will foster your creativity and give you a network of like minded people who can help you as you approach college. Keep yourself in the classroom, don't drop out of school because without a high diploma you will have a much more difficult time getting into college and college is where you find opportunities such as my old job of tour guide.
"Teachers didn't understand my unique learning style and didn't know how to help me, so they were harder on me. I have always had a hard time with math because it so abstract for me to do. I discouraged myself at times by not focusing on my strengths more."
