After four and a
half years of turbulence, laughter, and tears, I had finally completed my
program at Alabama State University and I would receive a Bachelor of Arts in
English, soon after. Yes! I was excited that I had the will power to stay on
course and see my program through even though there were many distractions
along the way. So many that I had not truly thought about what would be the
most effective and strategic transition for my future. With this uncertainty
probing at my brain, I enrolled at Alabama State once again, this time as a
graduate student in the counseling program. In the beginning I fully enjoyed my
classes and I was really engaged in the idea of becoming a school counselor.
While taking the
classes, I didn’t feel very confident because I was not receiving positive
feedback from all of my professors or my advisor. Although I was doing well
academically in this program, I felt a bit confused. I really felt as though I
wasn’t receiving the proper guidance in order to become a successful counselor,
in fact I actually sensed that some of my professors felt that I wasn’t capable
to be a counselor. I feel that they were judging me, and not truly taking the
time to get to know a really colorful, passionate, and driven individual. But
that is in the past, and I am excited that I took the high road and enrolled at
the University of the Rockies to complete my program.
Here I am a twenty-five year old
unemployed woman determined to complete my call of duty. With all that I have
experienced, I have not let the storms of life damper my zeal! I enjoy the fine
arts such a jazz, tap, and ballet, the opera, and wine. In addition to those
things, I also enjoy all sports, cooking, shopping – of course, and web
browsing! I enjoy working with the youth because I always want to feel like a
guiding light to those that are lost or appear to be.
I am not a confrontational
individual and I truly believe that things can be resolved with out violence or
any conflict. I was very excited when my enrollment counselor informed me of
this program. I feel that this degree will help me achieve one of my goals in
life. I enjoy writing, it is something that I am very passionate about and I
hope to complete a novel in the future.
In addition to writing, I take
pleasure in listening to music, attending plays and traveling. With all that I
have experienced, I love humanity and I want to provide my thoughts, my
service, my kindness, and my well being to the betterment of the world,
wherever I am sent. I love creating and
building new friendships; I think that friendship is a very important element
to self-growth and universal understanding! I look forward to creating and
building new friendships with everyone in the classroom!
In short, be the change you want to
see in the world!
