It is March, and the days are getting warmer! Typically during this month, animals begin to wake up from their hibernation and explore. However, unlike hibernating animals, students have been engaged and working diligently through the new year!
As an IEC who works with a diverse population of students, I can say that they all agree that this semester has been challenging. However, I think that both teachers and students are trying their hardest to get back to teaching and studying. In addition, with more schools and colleges lifting mask regulations and opening doors, students are starting to feel more enthusiastic about their educational options.
Students often talk to me more about in-person activities and extracurricular involvements, filling up calendars and commitments. Hearing the happy smiles and listening to their enchanted conversations is always a great feeling - students are starting to be active in their communities again.
As calendars begin to fill up through the spring, Williams Educational Consultants wants to remind all classes to remember their timelines and admissions processes.
