A Student's Affairs

My name is Elise. I received my MA in Student Affairs '13 and a BA in English Literature '11. I started this blog to post my Student Affairs highs and lows. I am learning so much about myself and the students with whom I am working. The quotes and personal posts are how I view this amazing field of work called Student Affairs. Check out my about.me profile!

all streams flow to the sea because it is lower than they are. humility gives it its power. if you want to govern the people, you must place yourself below them. if you want to lead the people, you must learn how to follow them.

Do not bring people into your life who weigh you down. And trust your instincts. Good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don’t hurt.

A lot of parents will do anything for their kids - except let them be themselves.

Why should you worry about the future? You don’t even know the present properly. Take care of the present and the future will take care of itself.
