Appreciation post: my community college advisor who pushed me to finish my diploma in 2022

I was about to drop out back in October 2022 after a rough semester. My advisor, Mrs. Chen at Northern Valley Tech, sat me down and went over my transcript line by line. She showed me I was only 6 credits away from graduating. That conversation kept me in school. Now I work as a medical coder. Has anyone else had a teacher or advisor who kept them from quitting?

Lucky Mrs. Chen didn't charge rent for living in her head that long.

@michael_coleman10 you're acting like she's the only person who's ever had a long grudge, it's not that deep.
