When they are away from their parents, they need to be independent, which they have to learn to become an adult.

Additionally, people can tough different people and learn different culture, which help them broaden their views and have a better understanding of the world.

Then he helps them to make progress. This job is time-consuming, which makes it much harder than being a student.

Once I get a subject, I regard other works as disturbance. My capacity of handling things is limited and I can’t care about two works or make two decisions at one time.

Keep a smile to them and they will feedback a big smile. Second, he should always be warm-hearted and helpful. When someone get into trouble, give a hand if he can. Because others will help him too if he needs. Third, he should never forget to learn. School is a paradise to receive knowledge. If he have some questions in study, just ask teacher for help. It is a pity to lose a chance to learn.
