Bumped into a former employee last night

I was out watching my son's band last night (The Greens) and bumped into Jessica, a former shelter worker. She works at the Bureau of Public Debt here in Parkersburg (since she left the shelter). She is working on a business bachelors degree, and has further plans in "international business." I told her, she represents, to me, a "success" story of a person who, worked at the shelter for about 2 years, moved on to a better paying job, with a future in the line of work she wanted, but greatly contributed to the work of the shelter while she was there. She asked about some staff, and reflected on how challenging the work was, but that it was a good experience. She remains a "friend" of the agency, and it was good to see her.
