-: Oh gosh, I would say Rollins definitely prepared me
so much for teaching.
Just to be professional and even just wearing a suit
for an interview, all those little details.
I know other schools when people say,
oh you went to Rollins, wow!
There's definitely a name, there's a reputation
in the community especially here in Central Florida
that when you go and say I'm a Rollins graduate,
they take you very seriously.
Definitely Dr. Wellman was a professor of mine.
Some of our stories have played through my mind,
even now some of her advice, such as have a box
and put some things that your students make for you,
put them in that box and collect that
so when you're having a rough day go back and look at it.
And now she's a good friend of mine
and sometimes I have to call her for support
or she calls me and says,
hey when are you gonna get your doctorate?
It's continued it doesn't end the day you graduate.
It's a continued support so she's definitely someone
that's changed my life for sure.
