International Students Finals week.

International students at colleges in the USA are usually attending schools here for one primary purpose, their education. Due to this international students have a reputation nationwide as 'good students' and they usually are.

This week , if it is FINALS WEEK on your campus, you have an opportunity to clearly demonstrate your unique value to your campus community. As an international student your study skills and academic habits make you an example for other students, many of whom will be struggling this week to get through finals.

With this profile, that of a good student, you can contribute to the success of other students easily. You can do so by volunteering to tutor. A tutor in the USA is a school helper, the kind that help other students with their studies.  Possibly on your campus there is a Tutoring Center or a Study Skills annex.  Whatever the facility tutoring can be an opportunity for you to involve yourself further in the life of your campus and expand your social circle.  When it comes to what to tutor maybe your area of expertise is your major or your strongest subject.  It could also be your native language which some other students, non-native speakers, need help with.  Whatever it is , look around.  Your co-operation and contribution will expand your social circle and raise your profile on campus. And that would be a good thing.
