Over the summer when I worked at Lowe’s, we started using a new scheduling app for employees. I noticed a few bugs, like notifications not showing up or shift changes not updating right away, so I gave feedback to my manager and through the app itself. I liked that my input actually got noticed — they fixed some of those issues pretty quickly. The hardest part was explaining exactly what was wrong in a clear way, but it taught me how to give more detailed, useful feedback.

I’m really comfortable using Discord and being part of online communities. I use it already for personal groups, so I know how to join discussions, give feedback, and keep things respectful. I like sharing ideas and hearing what other people think too — it makes it easier to come up with better suggestions when everyone’s involved.

I like giving feedback because I use a lot of apps myself, and I know how much better they can get with a few small changes. It’s cool to know that my opinion could help make an app easier to use or more helpful for other students. I like feeling like I’m helping improve something that people use every day, especially if it makes studying or learning smoother.
