I got in!!!!!!!!!!

I know its been awhile since I was on here and I really want to make this a weekly blog that I can write about things I have learned, tips that I found and just be able to express my feelings on the journey to become a school counselor. 

I can't believe I actually got in! Its been a roller coaster of emotion these past months waiting to see if I was accepted into University of Dayton's School counselling program. I actually didn't get in at first, I was devastated. I didn't understand, because I had dedicated this year into getting into the program and if that wasn't enough I didn't know what more I could do. With a lot of coaxing I called the next day to ask what I was lacking, and why I didn't get into the program. The academic coordinator remembered me and said I was the first person who didn't get through. But he said he will make a few calls and see what he can do because he believed in me. After a month later, I got a call saying I actually got in. I was so shocked and I am still waiting to wake up from a great dream. The lesson I learned from this whole experience is never give up on your dreams. If you don't get the job or program that you had your heart on don't let that discourage you/  Take the extra effort to find out what you could do better next time. Never give up on your dream, I didnt get in the first year and I didn't let it discourage me, I used it as a challenge. Who knows maybe you will be lucky like me and by showing that persistence you will get into the program. 

This Fall 2014 I will start my program in School Counselling @ University of Dayton!!!
