The ideal assistant plays an important role in the education and growth of the college students. Sole academic cultivation does not ensure the form of talents. So, the assistants shoulder the responsibility to foster the students in an all-round way. In my opinion, to be a good assistant, first, the person must be very knowledgeable and talkative. He must have a solid command of theories and a wide range of interests. Second, he must be patient and considerate. When students have difficulties, he will try every means to give help. Third, a good assistant should be a good organizer and adviser. He must be good at communicating with the students and settling mental problems. Last but not least, he should have a strong sense of responsibility and be hardworking. That means he must have affection for this job and get ready to devote himself to the education career.
