From August 2018 until December 2018, I got the chance to be a Peer Leader for the Gateway to University Honors class this Fall. During this time, I got to interact one-on-one with the students in thirty minute meetings to find more out about them, and what they would want from the course and from honors. One part of the peer leader role was to go through training to better understand what type of leaders we were and what types of activities we may encounter within the Gateway to Honors class. My favorite part was when we looked back on our skills, and even though I did not take the test again, I still use my top five strengths on a day to day basis. My main role was to help facilitate during class, be a peer mentor to the students, and have these individual meetings. I learned a lot along the way about myself. At the beginning of my journey I was so excited to tell students about my experiences in honors, and about what they could accomplish, that sometimes the meaning of the conversation got lost. I started to notice that my experiences were overshadowing their perception and their goals, so I spoke with my instructor, took a step back, and really started to focus on using my experiences to help me guide the students and not just telling them about my experience. I was able to notice the changes that I wanted to make due to the goals that we set at the beginning of the term, the mid semester evaluation and the end of semester evaluation. Understanding the type of leader that I wanted to be in the classroom is what allowed me to help the students in my class better.
