It has been a LONG time since I have actually been able to help a student and feel good in my job. Today I got to do just that. This was an older student who just wanted to get her Bachelor's degree so that she could get hired by the railroad. I went above and beyond and sent her to be advised by a department on campus. She had a ton of Technical hours from her previous school and we usually don't take those.
This dept has said they are going to honor them (which is great and only leaves her with 48 hours to graduate!) She was so pumped by her meeting across campus that she came back to talk to me and is now filling out an application. Rarely does this happen.
I had been having a stressful day with crazy demands being asked of me. This student has made the day so worth it!

GOOD FOR YOU... admissions is so stressful and we deal with such intense situations sometimes- it's always nice to actually see a success story like this. I love making a difference.
