Last week I was giving a presentation at work for the batch of new students enrolling in school. My portion of their orientation day is not exciting or encouraging, to say the least.

Today marks my two year anniversary as Registrar at a local college. For 730 days, I have been a “school official.” I remember the first time I had to sign an important document as Registrar. A coworker came to me and said “Courtney, I need a school official’s signature, can you please sign off on…

Last night I was working at my part-time waitressing job and was nearing the end of my shift. Hands full of glassware, I tip-toed through the busy kitchen and made my way to the dish pit. I have put dirty glasses in the dish rack thousands of times before, but this time was different. As…
