UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFR

I worked with helping the student to apply for space and student numbers. I help them to understand the qualification of their choice. I helped them to understand what long-distance learning is all about. my coworkers were very helpful and always willing to work as a team. what a enjoyed most was seeing the smile on a student that I just helped. it gave me pleasure and to know how much I changed someone's life and gave them hope in making a difference in their lives.

Pros: working at unisa helped me to have an understanding of how to work with different people and how to deal with their stress and mistrust
Cons: the sad part was that with all that experience we get we are just left outside on our own.

stretch yourself

it is a great environment o stimulate your mind, working with clinical psychologist and educational psychology in finding innovative ways to assists student at an open distance learning institution. i have learned to find my voice and i mostly enjoyed making resources that will provide adequate information to students. the most challenging aspect was working under a very tough senior counsellor who was excellent in counselling, i leant to be brave and stretch myself. one does not learn anything when they are in a comfortable space.

Pros: a great opportunity to prepare for masters
Cons: no leave for interns
