Mushy

Well Lets see… … … I think that not knowing is what made the semester one that I will never forget! I agree with Mark that new tutors need to come into the class with their own expectations. This allows the greatest opportunity to learn. If I had to tell them something, I would say hang on and enjoy! When I first started the semester I had no idea how many times I was going to be put on the spot. This turned out to be what helped me learn the most. I am not sure that I am used to it yet, but I can live with it. Other advice would be to not be shy. You are going to meet a lot of people during the semester; these people have a lot to offer you. If you never talk to them you will miss out. I would also tell the new tutor to get to know all the other tutors; whether you like it or not there is a family here. The Writing Center is a place that is going to be a part of you. Care about it and care about what happens to the other tutors. Sorry this is so mushy but.....deal!
