I had a student that called during my birthday dinner extremely upset and anxious about her upcoming ACT test. I excused myself from the table so I could continue speaking with her in a more private environment. I told her how important it was to see her accomplishments that she has made in her program and continuing to do so. I explained to my student that she had something so special and she would get the score she has worked so hard for. She will be an asset to ANY college. Keeping students morale up is huge in education no matter what time of day or situation you are in. Empathy is huge.
