Thanks for the opportunity to meet and get to know others who were also trying to define where they want to go in the future. It was great to know that I am not the only one who was unsure about her direction. We all went through the process together creating written plans and helping each other in teams. The information was presented in a clear and understandable way and I liked that we were stepped through each process. The teachers really cared about helping us become successful. It was great!
