Megan-
I could not agree with you more! There is a growing need for to students to learn how to use these tools as a business would use them, so that you are preprepared to do the jobs that are out there today. I'm always amazed when I talk to college students who have still never had 1 social media class offering or more than a guest speaker for 1 class.

Social Media can also be a great way to learn, to get connected and stay connected with your classmates to study and get ideas.

**Thank you*** for having the courage to post this. Telling the system that it is wrong is not an easy task. I admire you.

These are great thoughts on the un-glamorous side of leadership. People hold you up to a certain standard, and your feel pressure to always be "on"

I like how you admit that you are human, you struggle, and you keep going. Thank you.

Fantastic post! Great analogy. “The speed of distribution and consumption of information via social media has revolutionized how we communicate and trampled geographical and social borders.” It still amazes me how many people and business just “don’t get it.” I find myself frustrated when I reach out to a company who has a presence, and that presence is not one of engagement or response. I feel like I am talking to a wall! Thank you for this post.
