Mr. Bolsen, I truly appreciate being in your classes. I feel that you shared such unique experiences with the class that were very beneficial. I appreciate that you had the class engaged in real life scenarios that we will encounter once we begin our practice. I truly feel that I left everyone of your classes with a better understanding of what was expected of me as a counselor. Thanks for your dedication. Kathleen
