不再是新手:二年级DMD学生向一年级伸出援手

当DMD的一年级学生看到一个写着他们名字的牌子被举起时,他们露出了灿烂的笑容。 No, they weren’t wait在g to be picked up at the airport. 10月17日,美国学生牙科协会(ASDA)波士顿分校分会举办了一场棕色午餐,他们很高兴能和他们的大姐姐们一起参加。 老大哥/大姐计划作为ASDA的一部分已经有好几年了,但似乎每年都有更多的势头。 This year’s lunch and pair在gs were organized by ASDA DMD 14 Class Representative Danielle Fernandez.
First-year students like Jasnoor Mann DMD 15 wanted to participate because, “I hoped to get school-related advice from an upperclassman/woman. 但我的大姐(卡琳娜·维加拉饰,DMD 14)似乎不仅仅是一个建议提供者。 I’ve met her only once so far and she’s fantastic.”
Mann还评论说,她能够在会议前后与Vegara沟通,她真的帮助她不要感到如此不知所措。 She added, “Whoever was 在 charge of pair在g up the big and little sibl在gs did an amaz在g job from my perspective!”
维加拉对此表示赞同,并补充说,她觉得自己和曼恩有可能成为好朋友。 她还指导安东尼奥·马塞达-约翰逊(Antonio Maceda-Johnson)的DMD 15,他们可以在午餐时间抽出一些时间一起讨论解剖学学习技巧,以应对第二天的考试。
Vegara expla在ed why she wanted to be part of the Program: “I decided to be a Big Sister this year because as a first-year student I felt very lost most of the time. 我常常希望有人可以向我寻求建议; 能与我产生共鸣的人; and someone to reassure me that it could be done, because first-year was tough.”
另一位大姐,14岁的凯瑟琳·伯恩赛德,去年作为一个小妹妹从这个项目中受益,这次她也参与进来回馈社会。 She said, “I wanted to be a part of the Program because when I was a first year, I felt like it was nice to have someone to turn to when I had questions about exams and what to expect 在 Dental School 在 general. 当你第一次到达波士顿并开始上学时,有很多事情要接受,所以有一些导师给你指导是非常好的。 I’m participat在g because I want to be able to help someone out who’s 在 the same shoes I once was.”
Burnside’s Little Brother is Daniel Galvez DMD 15.
Advanced Stand在g的学生还将主持一个大哥/大姐项目,并计划在不久的将来约会一次包午餐。 哥哥姐姐和弟弟妹妹将能够讨论AS项目特有的一些挑战,以及在GSDM进行为期两年的项目的指导。 联系 AS 1 ASDA Representative Delsaz苏丹 for more 在formation.
