After 5 years of college I can honestly say that the people who work behind the scenes are just as important as those that I have listen to everyday as they lecture to me about what I'm suppose to learn. I've had some great people help me along the way but at the same time, I've had some really crappy people who don't give much thought to their work. Those that have helped me have made me feel better about the decisions I've made while I was in school. They showed me my options and were very understanding, more so than I initially expected. Those that weren't so helpful have gotten me frustrated a number of times. I guess I shouldn't blame them though...my school is huge and they're probably sick of dealing with SO many students. But in the end, I think there is always room for improvement in helping dealing with student affairs....
SO...GOOD LUCK ROBIN! You'll do great! I'm glad you shared this essay with us because now I have a better understanding of what you do. Also, I didn't know there was a program dedicated to improving College Student Personnel, in fact, I was a little surprised (and oblivious maybe) so I'm glad you're in this field, it definitely needs your help! (^_^)
