Retention is very important , but there are many times that it is indeed very challenging. My fellow instructors and I try our best, but there are times that circumstances beyond our control occur and result in attrition. I try to make sure my students know that they are more than a number and that I truly do care about them and wish to be their guide as they travel on the path to success in the career field of their choice. I acknowledge there will be struggles but I also remind them that nothing worth having comes easily in life and they must be strongest when they are feeling their weakest.
