    Congratulations, this is so encouraging. As far back as I can remember, while I was in school there has always been this struggle in my personal life, that made things more difficult for me.

    Congratulations!
    This was a well put together video, and I can relate A LOT to the personal journey you have faced. I have had a learning disability my whole life. I just graduated from college with my bachelor’s degree in English, and to say I am proud of myself is an understatement. I am also the first in my family to graduate from college.
    Originally, I wanted to be a High School Teacher. However, college taught me that teaching is simply not a strong fit for me. I was very involved in college: I was a Resident Assistant in the residence halls for 3 years, I was a peer-mentor for first-year students and first-generation students, attended conferences, etc. I truly made the most of my undergraduate experience.
    Because my involvement was so meaningful for myself and others, I have decided to pursue my masters in college student personnel. I plan to work in residence life, academic support & counseling, and diversity/inclusion initiatives with a focus on first-generation student development. I am so excited to begin graduate school!
    As you can relate most likely, it has been a long journey. But, I see light and hope. I am eager to work with residential students as a Graduate Assistant (GA) At my Alma-mater while beginning my graduate studies.
    I wish you the best!

    Not only do we have the same name 😊 I am starting grad school this fall and I am nervous! I also had a learning disability since elementary school and struggled for years academically but I persevered and starting my Master program. Thanks for this video! I really see the similarities in our stories and I hope to be successful like you!

      Aw I love that we have same name and similar experiences. CONGRATULATIONS on getting into grad school! I believe you are going to do amazing. Grad school is not easy but just remember your why for wanting to pursue the degree when you feel like giving up. YOU GOT THIS! good luck :)

    Thanks for sharing your journey. I think I really needed to hear it. I am starting Grad school in January. My insecurities and imposter syndrome has prevented me from going after it and I’ve put it off for a few years. But I am excited to go back to school and pursue my dreams.

    Hi this is a lovely video !! Congratulations on your masters !!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I was wondering how could I join your black grad support group ? I am a first year graduate student and it has been very tough.

    • @ThroughtheLensofDes
      @ThroughtheLensofDes  Před 5 měsíci

      Aww thank you so much! Unfortunately, I don't have the black grad support group anymore. I created the group when I was in grad school for the Black grad students at my university. I too struggled to find community my first year of grad school so that's why I created the group myself and was able to build connections with folks during and after grad school. I recommend you create a support group especially if you looking to build connections with your Black grad peers at your school. I hope that helps! :)
