I think it's awesome that they feel comfortable and safe enough to hang with me for a bit outside of my "work" mode. I still have to maintain that level of professionalism with them but it's freakin' cool still the same!!

I feel the same when students come back to visit or I see them out somewhere...I've had 2 former students pop in this week...getting readyto graduate and head to college...so good to see the growth and maturity!
