Wow. I don't know why the GRE gave me so much worry... it's not like I've never taken a standardized test. I'm horrible at testing. That's true. But this was especially overwhelming and I hardly slept last night... but now its OVER! I forgot how good it feels to accomplish something really important or big and am ecstatic to get my degree in April.
I also feel an overwhelming gratitude. I am so excited to be a speech-language pathologist and help people everyday. I love going to class and learning about all of it. I am also grateful for wonderful examples in my life, friends and family who take what they have and make something of it... who make it part of their lives and let it change them for the better. There are a great many talents I wish I had, or that I wish I hadn't given up on, but right now I just feel very blessed that I am moving forward towards a goal and loving it. That is something I haven't been able to do by myself. I know it's been given to me, academic success, through a pretty amazing principle called consecration. And I'm really, really grateful.
Wish me luck on graduate school applications. I'm applying to:
1) Arizona State University
2) University of Utah
3) University of Hawaii
4) University of Texas-Dallas
