Well today is one of those days. Looking back I wonder how did I get here to this point in my life. What was the choice(s) I made that was the catalyst for change in my life. I mean I started out as a young 17 y/o with a desire and passion for medicine. One day I would become Dr. Stubbs of Cardiology .. yep me. Now I sit a graduate student in a field so far from the start that it makes me think. Did I make the right choice? Then just when I feel that slight breeze of regret I look at what I am doing and the lives that undoubtedly have changed because of my involvement and I know right then that I did. Today working the Fraternity & Sorority table at New Student Orientation here at Drexel University made me reminisce of a time that was. What a great day interacting with students and sharing my passion for the Fraternity movement couldn't be more in tune with what I love. That love being that of student development. Its moments like to day I thank the choices, becoming a founder of TKE, the advisors/mentors in my life, the wind, or for those more religious than I the man upstairs for what path I am on.Remember that one time when I figured out that what I did today is just what I should be doing... yep that happened.
That's what higher education should entail--how can this person use his/her/it degree to better the world. Its non-point getting a degree if its not a betterment to society in someway in my opinion.
