Long time no see

People are used to seeing others in a certain environment. For example, you expect to see your teachers at school, your parents at home, and so on. Imagine how odd it is on the occassion that you run into your teachers outside of school, say at the mall. Imagine how even more uncomfortable it would be to run into your parents at the mall by happenstance. Recently, I ran into Clifton Bobbitt, a resident director at Methodist. While I was at Methodist I had the pleasure of working as an RA, never under Cliff directly, but as a member of the residence life staff at Methodist. It struck me as odd that seeing Cliff outside of Methodist didn't strike me as odd at all. It was actually rather comforting to see a friendly Methodist face again. I suppose the point I'm making is that the relationships you make, and you will make relationships, with the faculty and staff at Methodist are lasting and comfortable. The disconnect between student and superior is smaller at an institution such as Methodist and is something that should be valued. - Rhyan
