What drew me to become an SL leader?
The possibility of helping someone achieve the satisfaction of being able to understand a topic in more detail.

I never go to class without:
a notebook and a clear mind.

The best advice I’ve ever received:
“Never trade long term goals for short term satisfaction.”

What I wish I’d known on the first day of the university: Don't focus on more than you can handle.

I didn’t think I needed SL until:
I attended my first session. Practising alone and practising with guidance are very different. 1 Hour of SL can be more powerful than 3 hours of self-study.

This weeks Thursday Leader of the week is Jasmine Fast.

Jasmine leads for Chemistry, to find out more about Jasmine click below.

I didn’t think I needed SL until:
I was studying with my fellow students who didn't attend sessions. For some reason I had remembered some random but important facts from the course material and I realized it was because of the different activities from the SL sessions. It was encouraging to see how much more I knew because of attending one 50 minute session a week.

I never go to class without:

A water bottle and a snack. There is nothing worse than being thirsty or hungry in the middle of a lecture. This is also my key to staying awake if I’m very tired. Drinking water or munching on a snack wakes me up surprisingly well!

What I wish I’d known on the first day of university:
Was that the semester will go by so fast! So enjoy each class and make the most of your time. You ‘ll only be in first year once!

My most memorable SL moment:
Was when one of the students attending with me wrote out an entire chemistry problem on the whiteboard with a permanent marker. We worked together on the chemistry problem and solved it and then worked together on the permanent marker problem and solved it. Funny times.
