Wrapping Up!

Topic: Finishing up my first semester o
WOW! Time sure does fly, I'm already wrapping up my first semester of Graduate School! I must say, Grad school sure does keep you busy! I've loved every minute of it though. I've really learned a great deal of information over these last coulple of months, my instructors are like great fountains of knowledge. I've examined human development from birth to death, studied the ethics and guidelines of the counseling process, and have even learned some of the fundamental basics of how to be an effective "helper". I particularly enjoyed the video tape process of "practice" counseling sessions; while they are nerve racking, they're an invaluble tool in assessing and critiquing your own counseling style. I could go on and on about everything I've learned in just one semester! Now that I have almost finished with this first semester, i'm not nearly as nervous about what lies ahead. I think that most of my initial anxiety over Grad School was a fear of the unknown. Now that I have made some really neat new friends and have gotten to know all of the OUTSTANDING instructors, I feel excitement for what the future holds. Phew am I ready for the holidays! While i have enjoyed Graduate school, it has certainly presented challenges and has kept me on my toes. I look forward to taking some time to enjoy my family and friends, eating LOTS of turkey and stuffing, and gearing up for my next semester. I wish everyone a happy, safe, and family filled holiday season
