No Longer an Intern...

As of this past Saturday I am no longer a student, I graduated with a M.Ed. from North Carolina State University.  This feels quite strange as I have been a student for the past 19 years of my life; I went straight into graduate school after I finished my undergraduate degree.  However, needless to say, I am enjoying the freedom that I have found in the absence of my internship and classes. 

 I will, without a doubt, miss North Carolina State University and Joyner Elementary.  Yet, I have realized that my time at these two places is over.  I have accomplished what I hoped to, changed forever and am now a school counselor (without the intern label).  That is, a school counselor without a job.  So, the tireless job search has begun.  I set fourth on this journey with the confidence that my program at NC State has forever changed me and allowed me to fully believe that I have the ability to grow into the effective school counselor that I want to become.    

One day at a time, one step at a time, one breath at a time everything will fall into place, of this I am sure.
