I work as a backup bookkeeper currently, and my employer has known the entire time that I've been hoping to either a.) go to graduate school, or b.) apply for a position in the company at a different location. Thankfully, all of my managers are very pro education and I've had a ton of support in the process. I worked there during my undergrad as well, and when I took an internship my final semester, I was allowed to step down without losing pay and work 1 day a week. When I graduated, they re-promoted me and I got more hours. I'm thankful that I didn't have to keep my goals a secret and that I was supported and encouraged, even though it means leaving the company (there are no locations to transfer to where my program is).

I was attempting to make soft-boiled eggs for ramen...and failing. I had been wait-listed at my first choice school and had just submitted my other applications the day before. When my phone notified me of an e-mail while I was cracking my fifth egg open trying not to break it, I just had to check. It was my first choice telling me that a spot had opened up and I was their first choice. I ran through my house bouncing, and screaming. I then called my dad, my best friend, my manager (who wrote a LOR for me), and my roommate to tell them the good news!
