Hadley White, right.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hadley White of Goffstown, New Hampshire, spent her summer in Presque Isle working as a resident director and French instructor for Upward Bound, a program that helps first-generation and low-income college-bound high school students succeed in higher education.<\/p>\n

The fourth-year secondary education and French student with a minor in Franco-American studies loved the challenges of the work \u2014 she was constantly learning and preparing to be an educator, and says her job incorporated many skills learned in the classroom and as a person.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am passionate about Upward Bound because it is consistently challenging, but always presents the most incredible rewards,\u201d says White. \u201cI feel as though it helps me personally and professionally grow every single day. I am pushed to adapt, problem solve, make quick decisions, respond to difficult emotional and academic situations, manage a classroom effectively, work independently and also collaboratively, take into consideration many perspectives at once, and role-model.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her summer tasks ranged from supervising, scheduling, and supporting other staff, to designing, preparing and teaching lessons in French. She says the most interesting part this summer was teaching French to a group of rising freshmen \u2014 an age group she had not worked with very much previously \u2014 who had great energy and made for a very different experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, between the classroom and the campus life, the part of the job I love the most isn\u2019t the logistics but the humanity \u2014 listening to people when they need someone to talk to, helping facilitate meaningful experiences and connections, and giving out motivational dog stickers,\u201d says White.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, I get to watch students be resilient, discover things they\u2019re passionate about, and be actively impacted by the Upward Bound experience,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd working with the students from the communities of Aroostook County has consistently reinforced my decision to join the education field.\u201d<\/p>\n

White also has loved exploring Aroostook County through hiking, kayaking, swimming and \u201cbeautiful drives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSince Maine has such a short summer, I feel incredibly lucky to spend it somewhere with so much natural beauty,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

And she loves that 91爆料 has such an incredible variety of opportunities for student involvement outside the classroom, including research, resource centers and work experiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love being able to work with the different departments and groups on campus \u2014 I\u2019ve done a lot with the Franco-American Centre in the past few years \u2014 to be able to immerse myself in my passions and to find resources that I will be able to carry with me long after I graduate,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think anyone from any major will find that at 91爆料, there are faculty and departments that are willing and excited to help students find their footing in something that aligns with their passions, and put it to use outside of the classroom setting,\u201d says White.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy work with Upward Bound has been the single most important experience for my growth that I\u2019ve had through my time in college,\u201d she says. \u201cI hope to continue working with the program for many years to come as I make my way into the field!\u201d<\/p>\n
