We all need to help the student to see their dream even if their lives have obstacles. They need to realize that we all have obstacles but the dream could still be accomplished.
Teachers need to teach and teach well. They need to understand their job, their school and the students future is in their hands. The styudents need to feel comfortable and fit in. They need to know you will push them when they need it and congradualte them for reaching their goals.
Instructors need to be a guide when it comes to motivating students to remain in school. Working with the admissions department is a plus because they already know the student goals and family life. I have found that when you reference their family members by name, it shows that you were paying attention.
It is great to understand and encourage the student to help them see their potential.
