-: In the whole year I've been away from Engineer IT,
(laughs)
I have learned that the relationships you make here
are very important,
whether they are professional, whether they are academic,
or they're your best friends in the world,
it's so important to stay in touch with them
because when you're out there in the world scheduling,
you have to make appointments with your friends,
but as long as you're keeping those contacts,
you'll never really feel like you're alone
'cause you'll still have your Engineer It family here,
no matter where they go off to.
You'll still have sort of like a home face.
I know it sounds so corny,
but it's definitely very difficult.
The magic word is balance,
but to have that balance and having Engineer IT here
and all your friends and family connected,
it's a good feeling.
