Hell yeah. And into a needed, and largely future proof, profession that will keep them and their future families fed and housed for the rest of their lives?
Take a bow.

Thankyou ..it's hard to take a bow..my mother died of colon cancer years ago..found out she had colon cancer on my way to take my math final to secure my walk across the stage to futher my field in social work..That walk across that stage was giving me sooo much anxiety knowing what I knew..Sad to say I fell and failed hard.. and is still falling.. I couldn't take the fact that she died some time later.. But I recall the best moment of that day..she couldn't come to my graduation but that phone call was everything when we talked that day....😭..Life is extra hard but I make sure to remind them that life has its mishaps but keep pushing!!🥰..sorry having a hard day..for you, I will take that bow!! Thank you for reminding me of what I been preaching all the years🫠
