A day in the life....: Day 5- "My FA counselor becomes my friend and inspiration!"

When I started my MBA at Capella University I decided that I was going to take out some Financial Aid as I was unsure what my finances were going to be. When I first talked to my FA counselor I remember her being very nice and very helpful. Time went on and I stopped taking out Financial Aid. Probably about a year or so later I was going to a happy hour with a friend who is cousin's with my friend Kelly from New Jersey. It turned out my FA counselor was friends with Kelly's cousin too! Small world!

We had a great happy hour and hung out a few times after that. Yet, really our friendship didn't blossom until the Fall of 2010. We started hanging out more and bonded over volleyball, running and eating healthy. I am inspired by her strength and dedication to working out and eating healthy. I strive to be like that more and reading her blog helps me to keep focused on my goals as well.

She is quite an inspiration and she probably doesn't realize how much she inspires others! I not only am happy to be her friend because of the health and wellness, but because we get along well, enjoy concerts and this Friday are even going on a trip together to Arizona! She is an amazing friend and am so glad that we have started hanging out more lately!

Here's to you Jamie R.!
