If you had asked me a couple of years ago if I would ever go for a master's degree in something... anything... I would have looked at you like you were crazy. I had a degree and it allowed me to join the Peace Corps as well as teach English in South Korea. For a long time I didn't want to go back to school... and to be honest, for a long time I felt that there was no way I could even get into grad school with my dismal 1st undergrad gpa. I felt kinda "stuck". As soon as I looked into SLP at a friend's suggestion, I became unstuck and nothing was going to stop me from becoming an SLP.
I'm so happy that I didn't let that first undergrad gpa stop me from pursuing a post-bacc in communicative disorders and then applying to grad school. I'm so glad that I don't let my age hold me back. I am grateful for every twist and turn I have taken to get here. I'm so thankful to be in grad school and to be working on this next step towards becoming an SLP. It's been a long crazy journey to discovering my passion for speech-language pathology and I'm indebted to that friend who once said "why not speech therapy?".
