You never see any one walking around in Jeans during the week before finals. I love this time of the year at the wood. This is when you can see the true heart of Northwood come alive, it happens almost overnight to the entrained eye. As a student at Northwood, I know what goes on behind the scenes of the student that normally dress in his pajama pants and now is looking as a corporate executive. This transformation on the outside may of happen overnight but on the inside he is a whole new person.
He has been training for the past 10 weeks for this every moment, when the 30 page business plan comes off the paper and into the investors (Class Mates/professor) hands. As he walks to the front of the class his hands begin to sweat and he can feel the pressure of the world resting upon his shoulders as he looks toward the class. With a deep breath he releases the pressure of world and turns the butterflies in his stomach into a power weapon that cannot be stopped; every word that comes out of his mouth is smooth but forceful in winning the hearts of his peers and professor.
At the end of the day he walks taller than he has ever before in knowing that he succeeded his mission. Sure he will return back into the pajama pants for the next class, but on the inside he will never be the same always growing and learning how to become a better business professional.
This is why I love the week before finals because you really get to see the future of the person next to you, no matter what they may wear to class.
Blessings,
Mark
