Changing a Life

I had a very fulfilling experience this week. One of my students at a course I taught at the animal shelter decided that she would become a certified dog massager. She loves animals and is towards the end of her first career and was looking for a way to do what she loves. She wrote a very kind email to the coordinator of the shelter explaining how much the course had helped her finalize her decision. She chose to go to the same school I attended (Bancroft) which is certainly one of the best in the country. I offered to be a "mentor" to her as she navigated the first steps of her new career. I forwarded her emaill to Bancroft's coordinator and she replied simply "you changed a life." What more can you ask for than that.
