[nabs-l] Work study

[Bryan Duarte]

Hello brianna, 

I have been working on campus since my very first semester and I absolutely advocate for work study if and when you are able to balance your class schedule. I have worked in what is called changemaker central where we help students with things like start-up ventures, getting involved with service on and off campus, and also opportunities like peace core, teach for America and so on. I am also a trained career peer in our career services center, a funded research student, served two terms in student government including one term as senate president, and have started three student clubs for organic living, disabled athletes, and mentoring jr high students in the STEM field! I tell you all this because these are the things that have not only helped me make money during the semester, but also helped me make the relationships I have, get involved with the organizations I have, and ultimately make the impact I have on the Arizona state university for disabled student's. Oh and these are also the types of things the NFB are looking for when selecting a national scholarship finalist. I would strongly encourage you to begin searching for something on your campus that you would enjoy doing even if at first it is not all the way accessible. There are ways where there is a will! Have a great day 


Go Devils!

I just think that doing other things on top of college is honesty waste of time and it is not part of your degree. I would like to do one, but I don't think is necessary at this time. The reason for this is because you take longer on other things than most people, we all do. So why make that even more harder on yourself.
