Weekly News & Motivation From Student Services!

“There is no telling how far you will have to run while chasing a dream”’

This week from Student Services I simply want to congratulate each of you for chasing your dream. It takes so much courage to step out of what has been your “comfort zone” to make the steps to change your life.  As humans we are motivated by two emotions- one being fear and the other desire.  Fear will always keep us in the same place, never challenging ourselves just doing the same stuff just different day. But then one day desire starts to grow in your heart, the desire for a better life, a better job, better housing, and better car. It keeps knocking at the door of your heart until one day you call Dorsey. You come in and meet with an admissions representative who agrees with you that it is time for a change.  You follow through with your enrollment and begin classes.  

At this point I am sure you are thinking this is it I am on my way; no more fear just the desire for change! Right?  Many times that fear may remain no matter what you are trying to do. BUT I want you to know that for each day you come to class, pass a test, meet other students, staff and teachers, the fear becomes just a little smaller. It will become small enough that when you successfully finish your program it will be a memory in the back of your mind. It will be so small that the next time desire says it’s time for change you will be ready.

So as you go through this module whether it is your very first module or your last before externship, remember when you are chasing a dream you cannot let fear stop you.  Please stop by and see me if you need just a little push and someone to help you get past your fears.  I am always available and the candy dish is always full.
