Good working experience
As Administration student assistant I work mostly with Student Leadership and their sub-structures. It is very interesting working with the SRC as there is something new everyday. Being at Student Affairs has contributed a lot in my professional growth and has thought me so many skills into handling situations as they rise. My colleagues are kind, humble and dedicated into developing our students in every way. I have learnt to be independent, to think on my toes and to make decisions that may not only affect me but my students. challenging so far are the strikes but l do understand where the students come from.
Pros: There is great opportunity for growth and to study further
Cons: very long working hours

Optimistic Learning experience
I've been facilitating afternoon tutorial classes from 3pm to 5pm everyweek days. Solving academic and social problems of students, capturing test marks, setting class assessments and capturing tests and exam marks of students has been few of my duties. It has been a great experience to work with Lecturers, leading a large number of university students, and knowing that l have contributed to the passing rate of students, as I have been also a student. It is always a challenge to work with people, because of different characters that I had to deal with, profesionally as young as I am. Also having to sacrifice my spare time by assisting students from other faculties, as I am known as the best achiever in the campus was one one of few challenges
Pros: Optimistic career growth
Cons: Underpaying job
