Abstract

Enduring one of the hardest semesters that I’ve had so far, I’m not sure if I would have been able to make it without being part of the peer leading team. Without the privilege to lead and be buoyed by my students, I wouldn’t have survived because workshop is once again my safe and happy place. I felt this way when as a first semester freshman, I took General Chemistry I and found workshop was my safe place. At that time, I enjoyed workshop as a student and now I’m enjoying it as a Peer Leader. Peer leadership has become one of my best college experiences. Yes, it’s been challenging, and I was super scared at first. Yet life is precisely about taking risks, and as Stephen King says “The scariest moment is always just before you start. After that, things can only get better.” And things did get more than better!
