It has been 2 months since I participated in the Promise Retreat at Rocky Gap. I still think about this retreat for a few reasons:
- Every time I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with school work, I think about how much fun I had at the retreat and how fun it was to learn new things even if it was hard. As a result, I try to keep that mindset as I'm plowing through countless/endless articles and books for my program. The joy of learning has become my mantra
- A few weeks ago I had a student visit my office and he said " I want to go to college" This particular student needs a lot of assistance to help him reach his goal but through Promise, I was able to refer him to a colleague at BCCC whom I met at the retreat.
- I've also met a number of friends that I would have never met if I didn't attend the retreat. Not only do we hang out outside of school but we also encourage each other to push harder and obtain our goals. It's so nice to have a support group.
- Lastly, I am so thankful to have met Dr. Tull who works so hard to provide us with constant support and a means to grow, network, and obtain success in our individual programs.
