It is my third summer working as a campus tour guide and it is my last summer. And while there are days that I wish I did not have to go to work and could just sit and do other things, I love my job! I love the people I work with and once I get out on campus with a family, and it is not 100 degrees outside I love my job!
Since I have been back we have been really slow at the office. But this past Friday it was the beginning of the summer craziness and it was so much fun! The families I got to meet were amazing and they were really interested in hearing about my trip abroad. I've been trying to figure out a good way to incorporate it into my tour and show students that study abroad can be a great option at any point of their college career, and with some more tours I think I will have a great way to include it.
Engaging students in the idea that it is POSSIBLE. Encouraging them to grab the brochure is a great tie into how I began my experience and then leads to how I never thought I would ever study abroad.Teachers in High School, Professors in College always talked about the experiences and I brushed it aside but my friends encouraged me to do it.
My story is so long, and one day I want to make it apart of my blog. There were so many factors that influenced my discission and in the end I know I made the best choice ever. It will forever be a part of me and that is why I want to include in along my tour route. We must tell the stories, and hook them in. What book did you ever read that didn't have a hook in the beginning? That is exactly what I am doing.
