Admissions Office

I gotta say that getting a job in the admissions office was not what I had expected to happen when I started school at Missouri Western State University. When I started working in the admissions office I did not expect to love it as much as I do now. I have gotten to know this amazing staff that I get to work with and have made some true friends working here. I have so much

respect for everyone that I work with. They have become like another family to me. We all care about each other and want everyone to succeed in everything that they do. From working through stressful situations, to being there for people when they need someone to lean on. From working a showcase day and giving a tour to perspective students while trying to keep your cool because you just fell face first into the concrete, to doing Marissa's favorite thingat showcase days and shmoozing everybody. From talking about dogs all

day because why not and Chase has all the photos to show us, to talking about why this semester is the toughest one yet. From talking about how Summer Vacation can't get here soon enough, to talking about how we are going to miss everyone when it does. From every countless second I have spent in this office laughing, smiling, and struggling, to all the wonderful snapchat videos, and photos that show just how much these people mean to me.

From all the countless memories I have made and will continue to make, to all the people I will never forget. From the tough work days to the fun office party days everyone is amazing at their job and I am blessed that I have had to opprotunity to continue to work in this positive environment. I have some of the best role models to look up to. Thanks for always supporting me and giving me advice even when I don't ask for it but I need it.
