That Moment When Others Truly Discover Your Passion Pt. 2

Today, I made an appointment with an academic advisor. I still cannot remember why I did it. So two hours later I go in and he asks me what I want to do. I tell him I want to be an academic advisor at a university. He is shocked. I tell him my whole plan and he asks me to hold on a minute and leaves the room. About a minute goes by and he brings four other advisors in the room with him and tells me to repeat everything I just said. So I tell them my story and plan. For the next 45 minutes all these advisors are giving me advice, pointers, words of wisdom, tips, secrets, and basically fighting over me. They wanted me to chose them to help me transition over to PSU. unfortunately, I didn't really nee anyone's help with transferring from KCC. So I thanked them all for their advice and an appointment that was scheduled for ten minutes lasted an hour. I appreciated everything I got from them and I am for sure going to use a lot of the advice!

Early this morning I asked my psychology professor from last semester about the Summer developmental psych professor (a class I need to take) and he said it depends on where I am going and what I want to do. So I told him Penn State and Education/Advising/Psych minor. He freaked out. He didn't even answer my question, but we scheduled a meeting for Thursday morning... He said he has never known anyone from KCC to transfer to Penn State and he wants to help me. So I don't know what I am going to get out of this meeting, but I am really excited because this man is INTELLIGENT. He taught at WMU for a long time too. Really great professor.

ON TOP OF ALL THIS, I got officially accepted into KCC's honors society. Induction ceremony next Thursday! Very excited... if I don't have to work.

Today was just a great ego boost. Amazing. Loved it.
