I have always been known to be a person who champions for the underdog. Having this personality trait gives me a special heart for the online student. I see more than the computer screen when I am talking with them and hearing their trials and tribulations. I pray for them and keep a log of names so that they know I care. Few have these traits. Online is just a computer screen other than seeing $$ signs for tuition. Online has been just a thorne in traditional education’s side.

If you build it they will come is so true. But you have to take care of them while they are here. (let them watch the game) Give them the tools to succeed and know they matter to someone other than a computer moditor or they will leave.

Thanks.
