I am writing here only to make the truth known to my students who might visit my blog and read this. Today was my last day at Loyola. This makes me very, very sad as the circumstances truly were unfortunate. I was asked to do things that were very unrealistic for my position and educational background, therefore they chose to lay me off and pursue other avenues of expanding the program (i.e. distance education.) I am not sure who will be there to provide guidance to Freshmen students in the College of Business.
If there is anything I find I am truly passionate about, it’s student services and college counseling. The opportunity to work with bright, energetic students who are searching for their life’s purpose is what I consider my purpose. It’s something I enjoy so much. I happily go the extra mile for my students because I know that in their shoes, I would want someone to be there for me to tell me the things I’ll need to know to graduate. I was lucky, I had several people like that at LSU- a much MUCH larger school, with professional staff members who still made an effort to know my name. I do make the effort to know my student’s names.
