Resident Mentor

What I liked
I liked working with the participants of the Upward Bound summer program and forging relationships with them
What I wish was different
I wish that I had done better with building more friendly relationships with my coworkers. We remained at a professional level.
Advice
Pay attention during training, engage with everyone around you and try to learn as much from them as possible. You won't know how difficult and fun it's going to get so just take a few breaths and take it all in. Also schedule time for self-care! It is tiring looking after other people.
