Prospective students often come to find what motivates them. This helps shed light on how they really feel about going to school, ultimately leading them to an increased awareness. It offers the prospective student the chance to determine if school, in general, is an option for them and what needs to happen for that to take place. It’s helpful to have resources you can reach out to when working with prospective students on their individual challenges. But keep in mind that these are not one-size-fits-all solutions. Elements of them may be helpful, but it is crucial that you tailor them to your prospective student and their needs. And continue to seek out additional options as needed. Challenges and obstacles make us gather all our strengths, skills and hidden talents, and use these to navigate the difficulties we face and after overcoming a challenge, we become more confident, more aware of what we are capable of and better equipped to handle what comes our way in the future.
