God Sent Her To Me

I was ready to quit the counseling program My first year had been horrible I was the token oldie, and it had been a chore I decide it was not worth the trouble I dropped out, glad to do it. Dr Jean Peterson called me on the phone. She tried to talk me into staying. I did not know her, I did not trust her. I refused. She wanted to take me to lunch. I was an hour drive, she did not care. She talked me into lunch. I decided to try and dislike her. We became best friends at that college. I reenrolled into the counseling program. I have been a counselor for twenty-eight years It is the best career I have ever had. I owe it all to Dr. Jean Peterson A woman who would not take no for an answer She was only at my college one meager year It was enough, she was the mentor I needed God sent her to me.
