I just had a meeting with the person who is in charge of my scholarship because last semester my grades slipped. I was really dreading the meeting and had already had a pretty bad morning. So when I walked out of the meeting with a grin on my face, I was pretty surprised. Chris sat me down when I walked in and asked what had happened last semester. We talked for a while, I told him that I had made a lot of changes for this semester, and then he told me that he was here to encourage me. That was his job-- if at any point during the semester I was feeling discouraged or like I was falling behind, he wants me to come meet with him. In the meantime, he gave me some advice. For example, he told me to lay off myself and not strive for perfection because no one was expecting it. He also told me to take a break sometimes and learn how to give up things, even if I love doing them. There isn't time for everything. I am thankful for his advice and for the support that was given to me today.
