aw.

Today I got a completely random but really nice compliment. I was at work, helping another ambassador with a visit. Two students and two professors from a small school in Iowa came to find out more about our program. I was part of a student panel, and then I went to lunch with them. After lunch, we all went back to our building and the other ambassador took the two students on a tour of the building. Meanwhile, I was chatting with one of the professors. During the panel, I had mentioned that I was going into auditing. While we were talking, the professor just goes (out of nowhere) "You are going to make a really great auditor; I can just tell." And I was so taken aback. I literally said, "Um... what?! Why!?" Haha great, how professional. And he said, so sincerely, "I was an auditor for 15 years before becoming a professor. So much of that job is personality. You have the personality for it. Your communication skills are great, and you just seem really personable." I was like, so blown away. I don't even KNOW this guy. I had literally only spoken to him directly during the panel... we were at opposite ends of the table during lunch. I just that was so, so incredibly nice. Hooray for random acts of kindness :)
