Observation 1/24

I had the opportunity to observe a consultation for a PhD dissertation grant. I now share a similar experience with David, as the client was one the which he had previously mentioned in class.
I initially thought that it would be an overwhelming meeting, as I am only a sophomore undergrad and one of my first experiences in a consultation. However, I have come to the conclusion that writing is writing no matter what age you are or qualifications you have. This particular client was so considerate and caring that she even asked me how I was doing during the consultation. What a huge reversal in how the relationship would be normally be oriented! I should have been asking her that question! This consultation has definitely helped calm any fears of future appointments, especially those with students that have earned higher credentials than I.
