   BostonKatie replied to sallber's topic in General Students

   Thank you so much for posting that!! I will follow those golden rules. The one I have to focus on is not taking it personal when I get yelled at. It's hard not to. I want to learn, and I love what I do, but I don't want to work in fear.

    Not sure if this will help, but certain boards treat expunged records as if it never happened. My classmate had a conviction that was expunged and when she called her BOA, the executive director got on the phone with her and said she can mark No on ...
