With my recent application to graduate school for student development administration and almost 4 years of experience in various areas of student affairs at my undergraduate campus, I have become somewhat of a higher education nerd.
Though my acceptance to this graduate program is not guaranteed, I know I desire a future in higher education, and I'm going to work hard to get there.
It was several weeks after I started writing my essay for graduate admissions at Seattle University, after pouring over this 3 page essay for hours at a time, that I realized the raw truth within it. As I was writing I thought to myself "I want to get into graduate school, I'm going to work very hard on the essay, I'm going to say whatever it takes to make them like me, right?!?" But looking back at the essay, I found no fluff, I found no begging, no lying, just pure truth. It became obvious to me that I found my passion in student affairs/higher education and I cannot wait to begin building a career in the field.
For educational/developmental/recreational purposes, I wanted to create this blog where I can post about higher education and student affairs issues, news, and thoughts. I'm looking forward to filling it up so I can tickle the brains of fellow higher education nerds.
