FACS Editorial

As this semester comes to an end, students are turning in projects and the finals rush is upon us. As I reflect on the semester, my first back at UCA as a professor, I think about what went well, what didn’t, and how I will improve. The students really impact us and I’m not sure if they know it or not.

When I look at some of the images of things that occurred over the semester I am absolutely humbled by what they can accomplish. Individually and collectively, every student I have had makes a difference. They are someone’s child, sister, brother, mom, dad, friend…..they are everything to someone. I hope they know how remarkable they are and that their dreams are achievable.  “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.”  -Theodore Roosevelt
