Peer Advisement Program?

I was attracted to the Peer Advisement Program because of the potential it has to assist students in learning to problem solve. One of the most important steps to becoming a responsible productive adult is the ability to examine options in any given situation and choose the one that will work the best at that time. I was attracted to the Peer Advisement Program because of the program's methods of helping students find their solutions, instead of telling them what to do.

I believe that is the ultimate service to those in need. As the saying goes, give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and feed him for life. I believe that the program teaches students to fish and I was attracted to that approach from the very beginning. I am a believer in problem solving skills and I believe that every person can improve their ability to problem solve when it comes to situations in their life.

What is it you that you hope to gain from being a Peer Adviser?

I hope to gain several things as a Peer Adviser. One of the things I hope to learn from the program is better communication skills. I have learned through other classes and experiences that one of the most important skills to communication is listening.
I want to be able to fine tune my ability to listen to a student, and from their dialogue extract the main points and ask the student if I have heard them correctly.

The second thing I believe being a member of the Peer Advisement Program will provide for me is experience for my future resume. I know it is important to experience volunteer services especially in the field of assisting others. I plan to spend my life in some sort of service position that assists others, and this will give me the springboard to move into other programs when I leave school.

The third thing I believe I will gain form the program is the improved ability to problem solve for myself. I believe that everyone can learn from everyone. Each person has positive things to contribute to society. I think being a peer advisor and the process of assisting students in choosing solutions will broaden my personal ability make wise and productive choices in my life and my future.
