What made you apply to the SU?
"I was thirsty for new experience and the fact, that the role will help me to improve my skills for future employment. I also wanted to be involved in DBS in a deeper level, than just being a college student here for evening classes. I felt I had great skills to help students and staff."
Describe the most enjoyable part of your role.
"The best part was being able to talk to new international students and staff, and help them out! It's so rewarding to give your voluntary time and make a huge impact in peoples well being. I also went outside my comfort zone, and learned how to deal with unexpected situations. I grew as a person so much, its incredible and am grateful for the opportunity! More-some, I loved participating in events that helped to raise students consciousness."
What would you miss most about being part of the SU?
"I love personal growth, testing my limits and participating in new projects. I also enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about international full time students, they lead completely different lifestyle than those who are studying part time.
