I'm glad I went to this event because I talked to some graduate students who I never talked to before. I got to talk about their plans for their future, and I got excited for my class of 2024 to graduate. I decorated my cap with some flowers and lights. Today I'm going to post my cap with the hashtag to win a prize. I hope I win. The ice cream was so good, they only had strawberry and cholate ice cream. I got both flavors with nuts and caramel. Overall, I was a great event to end the year. Congrats Class of 2024!

I LOVED THIS EXPERIENCE! Sorry for the first sentence, but I really loved this event because it was actually fun to be part of. I volunteered from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. I helped serving food, checking in and playing games with the students. I also leaded a tour guide at 11:45 pm along with two other tour guide volunteers. I loved sharing my own PGCC experience with these high schoolers because it gives them a bigger understanding of college life. Overall, great experience, and the lunch was great (I had a turkey sandwich with cookies).

I loved this meeting because I actually listened and took note of what was said. I knew I had imposter syndrome before coming here, but I never had someone else confirming it. It was good to talk about this because i feel like no one cares about it. Overall, great information that was shared because I learned about the symptoms and coping methods of imposter syndrome. Please do these type of meetings again!

It was an educational meeting to everyone. I loved how they made the meeting about transferring because most of Scholarship students are applying to transfer to a 4 year university. I got a bag of chips, and listen as the host was explaining the cost of attendance, the process of applying, and things I need to do before before I choose a school. I liked how they made us play a kahoot game towards the end. It was fun to end it off. Overall, great meeting because I learned how to choose the perfect school for me.

I loved how they give us our own personal tutor to help us. I didn't use the tutor, but I'm glad he was there to help for anyone of us. It was calm, quiet, and nice to have a place where I can pay attention to my work without any distractions. They were giving out pizza and cookies, which was the cherry on top. I loved this event, and I would go again. I got a lot of done during this study session.

This was the first event that TRIO hosted as a Welcome Back to members. It was calm and educational. I loved seeing my TRIO staff and members after a long winter break. Ms. Williams and Ms. Bolton was leading the meeting by playing games and giving us encouragement to start the new semester. They taught us the difference between an open and fixed mindset, and how we should change our fixed mindset this semester if we want to have a great and easy semester. Overall, it was warming to see my TRIO family in person!

This was a event that was needed for us as college students who need to know about healthy masculinity, healthy relationships, and building a culture free from violence. I feel like my generation, these topics are silent because we don't see the importance of these topics but I'm glad my college went through them. The hosts were honest and very open to hear our opinions on statements. Overall, great participation from the hosts and students who gave honest opinions on how to maintain or realize what is healthy relationship .

I attended the TRIO SSS Needs 101 event on campus to discuss with the TRIO staff and members about 4 year transfer tips, choosing a major, motivation tips, and time management. We talked a lot of things during this meeting and I love the way our team was talking about choosing a major and making sure if the major we’re pursuing is that right one for us. I got a lot of motivation from Ms. Phyllis about choosing a major because she made great points like passion is better than a paycheck. Overall, great meeting I wish we had more time because we talked so much about credible information that I needed.

I didn't think there would be so many high school students that would attend this college fair. I was excited to see all the high students come through the doors near the college store, and go up the stairs to Dukes student center waiting to see which college is right for them. I meet with so many different high schools like Parkdale, Bladensburg, International langley park, Bowie and etc. Along with another student helper, I was getting out bags to high school students and greeting them when they entered the event. I didn't register for this event, but I came to help and Jessenia Marston told me what to do. Overall, it was a great experience to see future college students.

Before attending this meeting, I didn't think credit was important. I don't even have a credit card, but after attending the meeting, I should start thinking about building my credit as fast as possible. I learned about credit, but I also learn about compound interest, credit report, and etc. In the beginning of the meeting, we took some polls and answered some credit questions based on our knowledge. We saw the difference between life decisions that hurt or improve our credit. After we went into breakout rooms with other students to discuss more about credit. Overall, very informative meeting and learned useful information that will help me in the long run.
