Meet Kristian King
Hello, first-year students, my name is Kristian King and I will be one of many peer mentors for the
Access to Success program provided by the College of Liberal Arts. I am so
excited to be part of your college career, so I'll try my best to leave
a good lasting impression. My overall goal that I want to achieve within
ATS is to be able to help you guys to be successful first-year students.
This means if there's ever something you need, just don't understand (as long
as it's not college algebra), or just need a shoulder to lean on, I'm there
as well as the other peer mentors. This is an opportunity that I
was not fortune enough to have my first year, so I feel that I should give
this privilege to you guys. So please, don't ever feel like the world is on
your shoulders; I am here, as well as the rest of ATS peers, staff and advisers, with
that helping hand and that boost of strength to make the world feel like
it's in your hands.
Now for the good part, a little background on me. I am a third-year student
majoring in Sociology with a twist of media. I am a volunteer at Como Park
Elementary through a program called MCEP provided by Multicultural Center
for Academic Excellence. One of my interests outside of academics is
sports, and I like to play as well as watch: basketball,volleyball,
softball, and football. I love listening to music!!! I like a little bit of
everything. I like going out to the movies, museums, arcades, bowling
alleys, playing pool, or just chilling out playing cards or the PS3
depending on my mood. The one thing I want to get across is don't judge me from a first impression. If you do this, you won't be able to experience
for yourself what type of person I am. When this situation comes up I like
to use one of my own quotes such as "I can be the sweetest strawberry of
them all but that's only if you let me ripen long enough..."
