S.T.A.R. Buddy Testimonials

Sarah Saatori, Freshmen 2011 says: "The STAR mentoring program has given me insight into how to study my teacher exams, has prompted me to attend many more SOE events than I would've without it, and has allowed me to build a friendship with someone with the same major and concentration as I have, someone I get along with, therefore making me feel much more confident in my role as a future teacher. I'm really loving it...can't wait to see what next semester has in store!"

Francisco Escobar, Freshmen 2011 says: "The STAR mentoring program is great! I learned what the School of Education has to offer and the opportunities I will be introduced to as a freshmen."

Amanda Lalena, Freshmen 2011 says: "The STAR mentoring program has benefitted my life as a Freshmen; my STAR mentor has been beneficial to my life because I know she is another person that I can go to about any problem that I might be facing. She has not only been my buddy, but also my friend and I have a friendship with her outside of the STAR program."

Nicholas Amster, Freshmen 2011 says: "STAR in my mind has brought the entire School of Education together as one big family. STAR is something that all of St. John's would benefit from because most freshmen and transfers need that assistance from an older buddy who can show them the ropes and calm any fears they may have about college."
