Jake's Primary Task

Being a peer tutor this semester has been great. There have been so many positive experiences. I would say that the most satisfying experience that I had as a peer tutor was helping out the kids who were having trouble in the course, and actually seeing them improve. It is a great feeling knowing that you have helped someone improve in something that they are not particularly strong in.

I can recall a specific time when humour was used to reduce stress, but it was not on purpose. We were in the middle of a tight game of "Schmidty's Borden Ball," and both teams were stressing for a point. One student caught the ball, and right as he went to run with it, he slipped in the mud and fell right on his back. Another student tripped over him right after it had happened, making it all that much funnier.
