It was six
years ago, during my oldest son’s senior year in high school, that
my husband and I found ourselves faced with the daunting task of
helping our son choose a college. We were feeling totally
overwhelmed with the prospect of looking at various colleges and
universities and really did not know where to begin our search or
what we were looking for once we visited a college. Fortunately,
Karen Robinson was able to shed some light on the subject and help
us move in the right direction.
Karen was a
blessing. Without her insight into college life and her knowledge
of what a good college or university is, we would not have been as
successful in finding a place that suited our son’s needs. In
addition to being our first college experience, we also needed to
find a college that could attend to our son’s learning disabilities
and his attention deficit disorder. Karen prepared us well. She
armed us with a list of probing questions to ask and an even more
comprehensive list of little known “things” to look for that would
indicate the true quality of the colleges at which we were looking.
During my son’s
years in college he experienced some difficulties and was faced with
the loss of scholarship money. It was Karen who helped calm our
fears and gave us the information we needed to approach the
university for the help we needed. Our son has since graduated and
is now teaching high school. Since then, we have had two other sons
begin their college adventure. Each time, Karen Robinson was there
to help guide us in finding a college that suited our sons’ unique
needs.
Most recently our
youngest son began his freshman year. We were in a quandary because
his needs were so different from our other two sons. He is much
more quiet and reserved and needed a college that would not be
overwhelming or imposing for him. After consulting Karen, we
visited the college she suggested. It was an instant match for our
son. I was amazed at how well Karen was able to take into account
his personality and locate a college that was right for him.
You are now
facing the same journey we faced with our sons. In the array of
confusing paper work, mounds and mounds of college mailers, and the
need to find a place that will provide the best education for your
child; I can whole-heartedly recommend the services that Karen
offers. I know how much the knowledge she provided us empowered my
family and I on our searches for higher education. I also know,
without a shadow of doubt, that Karen will provide the same sense of
security for you.
Very Truly Yours,
Gail A.
