>> I'll say it again, despite having said it before: When I taught riding, my students were mostly all special to me. There were a few who stood out, but mostly they were ALL special to me, just in different ways. I know that people tend to discount someone who says that, thinking they're trying to make everyone feel better, but you know what? It's true -- they were all special to me, and I looked forward to nearly every single one of them. >>I tutor college science students, and I feel that same way about them. While I generally like most of them and enjoy helping them, I feel 'boundaries' that are similar to therapy. I am not exactly their friend and I cant take home their problems or worry about how they do on that exam. But that doesnt mean they are nothing to me. Sometimes I think this has got to be similar to what my T (and most others) do.

I am sure there are a lot of my issues playing here. Sometimes it takes a while for them to be clear to me. I do need to talk to her about it. That will be my next step.
Thanks.
