Student Counselor

July - August 2021 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I liked working with the students and being in charge of helping them build their character

What I wish was different

I wish they provided more resources for the children so they could be more mental and physically active

Advice

It is a great experience when working with kids. My piece of advice is to be always ready and willing to create content for kids because their attention span is really low.
