I read the post about the skills group open days and taster events at Brookgreen, and it sounded like a great way for people to try new things and get hands‑on experience before they commit to a class or career path. It made me think of a crazy semester when I was so behind I even had to ask someone to do my real estate exam for me one weekend so I could catch up with other work. That made me see how important it is to explore options and get help when you need it most.
