Despite the hardships she has faced along the way, Rhea Wolfram takes pride in being a risk taker.
She said it’s this optimism that has led her down many paths and allowed her to experience the richness of life. To this day, she maintains a variety of hobbies, including knitting, swimming and reading, which she believes are necessary for everyone.
She began her college counseling work on a volunteer basis for her friends’ children. As a stay-at-home mom in Dallas, she browsed through college brochures and course catalogs to gain insight into the collegiate world. “The people I’ve worked with, I have made them realize they’re a person, not a number,” she said. “They have texture, and that doesn’t always come with a grade.”
“I think Rhea’s gift is that she sees into the children’s hearts and minds,” Nancy Hodge, another parent, testified. Hodge added that Wolfram was able to detect her daughter’s perceptive and open-hearted personality, which eventually led to her admission at Mount Holyoke College.
