I will.

So this pretty much sums up how I feel right now. Sad.

I hesitate to blog about this, but the purpose of this blog is A) for my family members (near and far!) to keep up with my life

and

B) for me to one day look back on my life while in my "roaring twenties" and remember what happened and how I felt....

That being said, I got my first grad school letter today. It came from the University of Alabama and it was a NO. Sad day.

I won't lie, it stinks being told no. It stinks being told you're just not good enough. It stinks being told that a school doesn't want you in their program.

However, this is not the end!

I have 5 more letters coming within the next few weeks and I am SURE that one of them will say yes. I have worked so hard. I have an outstanding GPA, have done internships that make for an excellent resume, have recommendation letters from the best of the best professionals in the field of speech language pathology, and most importantly, I KNOW KNOW KNOW that I was put on this earth to be an SLP. I can't imagine being happy doing anything else. I will get in. I will be an amazing SLP. I will make a difference in the lives of those with communicative disorders. I will help families. I will love my job. I will. I will. I will.
