I just realized today, that I have counseled my last group of seniors, through the rather thorny path of college admissions. And it has been a tough year, finance-wise. It seems that the crash, crisis, or whatever label we place on this 'money-less pit', has hit International Admissions hard. And it keeps on hitting.
However, I do not want to talk about any of that.
What I hope to do in the next few lines, is find decent words for the great people I got to meet through this process; yes, they are/have been technically my students, but truth of the matter is, I have learnt so much more from them that I could ever teach back.
Thus, without any further adlieu,
Thank you, good good people, for allowing me a glimpse into your lives, personal and professional, and trusting me in. With all of the 'gobbledygook' of finance aside, I am certain that you are going to travel through the next four years, with great, great speed. And so much gusto.
See you soon, dear colleagues to be.
