Some students are very enthusiastic and driven from the very beginning... others survive "by magic" as we say. But, as a whole, this is a pretty tough major and many fall before the end.

People don't appreciate what they have until they lose it. I remember that as a kid I was often afraid I would go blind. Luckily, this never happened, but it taught me a lesson about appreciating one's health.

We often have students with problems, we try to help them as best as we can. There was this girl that started well, but then had some sort of nervous breakdown and started doing nasty stuff (even supposedly assaulted a fellow student). But she is getting better. Then there are also many with financial troubles, forcing them to take leaves of absence.

Heh, I'd be honoured ;)
