Acceptance to Graduate School
After many tribulations over the past five years, I had decided that I needed to change something. That is when I decided that I wanted to pursue a new career, and began taking a few classes within the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. I fell in love with it, and when I was accepted into the program I was overjoyed. I know that I can make things better for myself and my family, and I am determined to do my best in the program.
