If your experiments aren't working, instead of trying other approaches, troubleshoot your experiment at the point it began failing, or showing "false-negatives".

College Horizons Mentor
May - July 2017 • Blanding, UT
What I liked
I loved having the responsibility to work with the college and making sure that my students were getting all of their needed paperwork done and passing their classes. I was able to conduct a couple tutoring sessions and I knew that the education field was definitely going to be my field of practice.
What I wish was different
I wish the program was more organized. We worked 24/7 because a lot of paperwork and applications that should have been done prior to being accepted to the program wasn’t done yet. We were helping students apply for different scholarships to cover the program and if they didn’t get it they were sent home with a remaining balance.
Advice
If anything, as a college student this helped me realize the importance of educating the younger generation of the college admittance process. This program was such an eye opener for the incoming freshman because they didn’t know what college actually entailed. It was also an eye opener for me as a mentor because I saw how much high school students aren’t given any guidance and how little they actually know about college which is one of the huge reasons why students fail or drop out of college their first semester/year.
