Interview

Well, as you may or may not know, I came in through the AID/DSP Learning Center Summer Program. If it wasn’t for them accepting me into their program most likely I wouldn’t be here at Salem State College. The summer program was a great and hard experience I went through. I pretty much started college before a lot of my peers and I already 6 credits coming into my fall semester. We weren’t officially college students unless we passed the summer program with a 2.5 GPA and I did that and more. I was so proud of myself because I did something I thought I would never do and that was attend college I also made a bunch of new friends that I’m still currently friends with. We also had Peer-leaders which were upperclassmen that looked out for us, helped and guided us. They were pretty much there for us if we had any questions that needed answers also to keep us under control.


Last week I had my interview to be a Peer-leader for this summer. I was very nervous at first because they had me reading my essay that I wrote and that made so nervous my legs started to shake. I couldn’t stop them! Then the worse thing happened they forgot to bring the second page to my essay and I completely froze up there. They just told me to freestyle it. So that I did and I just began to talk about why I was qualified for the position.


They asked me question after question and I answered them really well and put together. My nerves were nowhere to be found (thank goodness) they asked 20 questions and they also gave me some scenarios of situations that could occur while I’m a Peer-leader and I felt like I handled the scenarios really well. The interview went really good and I’m glad I went through with it.


A lot of my friends are telling that I’m going to get it because I’m a good people person. I they are right because I believe this will be a great learning experience for myself. I will find out whether or not I got hired starting tomorrow. I’m hoping for the better like always.
