My high school English teacher advised me on a college choice. She told me it would be the perfect choice for me allowing me to grow into being my best self. I visited, fell in love with the place and what followed was the best four years of my life. Years later, when my daughter was having a similar issue in deciding what college to apply to, I suggested she visit the same college. She did, she applied and she had her own amazing journey of self discovery. Best advice I ever received! The college? Wells College!! Class of '78

As a mom of 3 kids I often felt overwhelmed and that I was always getting “angry” with one or another. One of my children was challenging and forever pushed the limits. A friend gave me the best advice in that I should “choose my battles”. That if we are going to go head to head make sure it was worth it
