-: When you're in college, you're, you know,
your professors are, they've got a certain standard
of what they're looking for, and they,
you know, professors at Ball State have empathy
and they are understanding of different challenges
and that sort of thing, but at the end of the day,
there's work that has to be done.
And it's the same way in a professional career.
You know, your boss can certainly sympathize
with what you're going through or you know
work to help you and be a good mentor to you,
but at the end of the day, they're not your mom,
and they're not there to wipe your nose for you, you know?
They're there with expectations and with standards and
everybody's got to meet those.
And so, being at an institution like Ball State
where the professors are really engaged
and know what they're talking about
and will hold you to a high standard
is a really big benefit.
