I’m here to support you through your journey but ultimately who would make the final decision and put in the work would be you (the student). I will be there right beside you to help and cheer you on.

I’d make sure to do two things:
Late night talks with my friends about our life goals.
Because I had incredible support during my own college journey, and I don’t know where I’d be without those people. I want to pay it forward and be that support for our Wave-Makers.
My favorite thing to do is walk or have a picnic by any body of water: a river, the ocean, a lake. I find being next to water relaxing.
