I have chosen the perfect career path for me i believe...BUT most people either have no idea what student affairs is OR they say "O so you get to just put on concerts and fun stuff like that..." when i first thought about going into student affairs i was pretty cool with people saying that. but now i realize that it's so much more than that, and what i want it to be. yes putting on concerts and fun stuff CAN be part of my career if i chose that path. having a degree is student affairs is like being a spider who just finished creating a spider web and is now standing in the middle of his/her creation just seeing all of the different directions he/she could go and how each of those directions is connected somehow. I want to do so much with my degree, i want to bring out the best in every student i come in contact with, i want to challenge each student to do his/her best, to help them realize the potential they have to change the world for the better with the skills they develop as student leaders. so being in student affairs is not just full of kicks & giggles, it's a serious career with very rewarding results.
this week has been a very educational week for me, i'm learning how to "walk on my own 2 feet" per-se. adam has been helping me make the schedule for security and the bar, also helping me communicate with and plan meetings with students that i will advise and other departments that i will work with. DISCLAIMER(i'm definitely not in kansas anymore {or Henderson for that matter} i do not completely support everything that i'm required to work with, nor some of the things the people i'm around do) I want to make sure that everyone who reads this realizes and knows that my morals, beliefs, and lifestyle have not changed just b/c i'm around ppl who don't believe the same things that i do. if anything they've gotten stronger b/c they're mine now...not forced on me by my peers or a school.
1st day of class was great we had a snack break...how cool is that!! my prof is very down to earth and is very comparable to jenny johnson at freed who is definitely in the top 3 professors i had at freed. Dr. Guthrie has a passion for what she does, just like i do and i'm excited for this semester. i hope the rest of my classes are like that as well!
