Today I received a copy of an email today from one of my professors to the vice chair of the department asking for me to again be one of the teaching assistants for the robotics class over the summer. It makes me feel good that Dr. Arroyo has a positive opinion of me and my ability to help others because in the past two weeks I’ve felt more like I was getting in the way than helping. By ruining a design by deleting something important, not being as positive about ideas as I should be, or not being entirely productive when I need to be I feel as though I’ve let a few of the students down. I try hard to meet all of their expectations, but I’m going to try a little harder in hopes that I’ll meet mine. I don’t treat the job as a job, and that’s a start, because that means I haven’t lost sight of my goal of helping those who want to succeed.
