On semesters things have to be done to get things ready for the classes. ordering desk copies for faculty, posting books for the classes, making folders the faculty first day.

Days started with a small meeting with staff and supervisors. I learned several new computer systems. Management was extremely busy and spread out. My co workers were friendly and helpful. The hardest part of the job was with working with young students and trying to get them to complete tasks. But when they did it was most rewarding.
