Dear Deiah,

It is wonderful to see young people reaching out to a professional
community for assistance and guidance.  The majority of people you
encounter in this field will welcome your interest and questions and
do all they can to encourage you in your career path.  Unfortunately,
there are always a few who will try to elevate themselves at the
expense of others.  Please do not allow mean-spirited, negative
comments to deter you.

Yours,

Liz Maurer
