Advising Philosophy
As a new peer advisor, it is important to reflect on your role in the lives of the people you will
help.
As a creative writer I’ve found that my time here at UC Davis can best be compared to a chapter
of my book, detailing all the obstacles I’ve faced and successes I’ve achieved. When I review the
earlier sections of this singular chapter, I recall how chaotic and challenging aspects of College
Life were. I felt overwhelmed, stumbling around on each page. Rather ironically, I kept pushing
back on advising, believing my newfound college independence was a sign that I had to face all
these questions, difficulties and obstacles alone. Fast forward to today, I have been able to
smooth out the pages of my time here through the guidance of both my peers and faculty, and I
wouldn’t even be here without their unwavering support. I want to be able to assist my fellow
students in journeying through their respective chapters by providing a comfortable space,
free-of-judgment and ensuring their words are heard. A great read is always forged through the
power of its author and the support of their peers!
