Adams State University's newest student...

I have been accepted into Adam's State University's 

Master's in Counseling Online Plus Program!!

I am beyond excited for this new adventure! 

I have been praying, thinking, researching and thinking again

about finding the right program and path for me. 

When I was at Dixie getting my associates I had decided
to switch majors (my last year) from Dental Hygiene to School Counseling. 
I loved all the courses I took in my undergrad study and felt like
this was definitely the right step for me in my career. 

I graduated with my Bachelors Degree in Psychology & 
Human Development in the spring of 2010.
I then applied right away into the University of Utah's 
Master's program but unfortunately did not get in at that time.
I was newly married and going through a lot of different things
and so I ultimately decided not to apply again or search for
different programs or schools. 

I, of course, am bummed that I didn't apply again right away but
here I am 3 years later and more than ready to 
embark on this educational journey and be a part of
a great online program that will fit perfectly into my life now.

I was beyond blessed to find this Online Program.
I had been searching on and off for several years now
for a program that would be a great fit. 
I have a really good job here in town and am very
content with where we live, so I didn't really
want to have to move far away for a program..
I also wanted something affordable
and that wasn't too intense. 
This program also doesn't require you to re-take the GRE.
Oh the GRE how I hate you.
 I took it almost 5 years ago now
and did okay on it, but for most programs I would have to 
re-take it again. Luckily with this program I do not have to re-take the test
but I may take an additional course instead..
phew..

Adam's State is located in Alamosa Colorado 
(about 2 hours from where my grandma's live)
and where one of my younger cousins is going to be
attending and playing football in the fall...
which is just a weird coincidence. 

I will began classes on August 26th and am really excited! 
My first two classes sound really interesting and I'm actually
excited to get started.
I am also a bit nervous of what to expect. 
As I read through the student handbook and
get all the information I am wondering
if I'll be a good fit for the program and if I'll pass
all my classes and interviews.
 You can't get more than 3 C grades in the program
and there are a few other stipulations that make me nervous. 
However, I know that I am just going to have to try my hardest
and pray everything works out how it's supposed to.

I have two 1 week intensives in June 2014 and June 2015 that
I will have to go attend. The first intensive we will be doing
a lot of counselling sessions and that is also when they
determined that you are doing well in the program and
can be 'fully' admitted. They do several interviews at this time. 
It'll be fun to head out there and meet everyone that I'll work with over 
these next few semesters. 


I was really excited to share this news with the blog world
as I will share it with my friends and family members as well! 

Hopefully even with this extra work load 
I'll still post on here often!
