Love Out Loud

My name is Anna Bosco, and I am a Wesley 2018 Alumni. I work for Faulconer Construction Company, and we are looking to hire a CO-OP Student for Fall 2020. We are looking for any student studying (or interested in studying) Civil Engineering or Construction Management to work on our Route 220 VDOT project. The position would be a mix of field and office work. For more information please contact me at abosco@faulconerconstruction.com .

Went hiking a few days ago with one of my friends from home for her birthday. Getting outside and spending time with someone not on Zoom was so fantastic!

So I had been studying some of last night and this morning for an exam I had later today. I spent a few hours compiling notes, powerpoints, and flashcards. The professor told us that the exam would be 40 questions which is pretty typical for this class. I went to start the exam and noticed there was only one question instead of the 40 that she had said there would be. I then read the instructions which said this... "As a trauma and resilience researcher who believes in the healing power of social support, I've come to the conclusion that I cannot in good conscience make you take an exam during a global crisis. Consider this my way of socially supporting you. All I ask is that you respond to the following question. If you've enjoyed the material and would like to write something more fleshed out as a reflective exercise, lovely. If you'd prefer to keep it brief, that's okay too. After you finish, I hope you take some time to do something kind for yourself." I am just so thankful for professors that understand what a weird time this is. I appreciate how she recognizes that all of this has been hard on everyone in some way. So, I see glory in understanding and gentle professors who remind you to be kind to yourself.
