I wanted to be a peer mentor because my peer mentor helped me so much, as did my FYE teacher, so I want to do the same for freshmen next year; make them comfortable and confident.

I wanted to be a Peer Mentor because I felt like the Freshman Year Experience was very beneficial to me my first year here, and I wanted other students to feel welcome at VSU.

I wanted to be a Peer Mentor because it was a great opportunity to get involved with the school and the community.  I also enjoy a leadership role, and the most rewarding part of the job is helping the freshmen adjust to a new surrounding and new people.

I want to be a peer mentor because I remember being stressed out the first few months of being in college.  I hope by being a peer mentor I can make an incoming Freshman’s transition into college a little easier.

I wanted to be a peer mentor because it is a great opportunity to help upcoming freshmen adjust to college. I know how much FYE helped me, and I want to help the new freshmen. I also love working with people and organizing activities.
