Just wanted to write down a thought.
I am just a mere secretary at a university. I work most of the time with students which I call my students, even though I don't teach. I put myself in their positions when I see them struggling to get through college all by themselves with out mom and dad's help or finding out that they a parents themselves working hard to reach a goal for a better life. When I see them having a hard time trying to get to pay their tuition and other expenses just with an aid, it kills me. And there's where I come in. They are my students, I don't care if I don't teach them, they need help and you bet I will help them against all odds. When I see that I did, it feels good, cause I made some one happy. And when I here, "thank you for understanding", it not only feels good but touches deep inside and just one big smile is enough to know you did good, way good.
You never know what they're going through, I was a student too, and it wasn't easy, even when you find your self in a situation where you have to choose between your dream, your future or survival. I don't want to see them quit their dreams, so if it is in my hands, I will always do what ever it takes to help.
