Where Are You Going...

Okay, I am going to boast....while most of you were laying in bed this morning...I was awake and donning my black dress and heels...why??? I graduated today. I got to wear my graduate gown and hood and walk across the stage at the Verizon Center and accept my diploma. I received my Master's of Science degree in Speech-Language Pathology! I can now call myself an SLP! I can now sign my signature with M.S., CFY-SLP. Whoo whoo! Over the next nine months (really after my paperwork is in), I'll begin my Clinical Fellowship Year (CFY). It's similar to being an attending doctor. I'll be supervised for a year to be sure I don't screw something up and then (if I passed my Praxis) I will have my Cs (lingo for Certificate of Clinical Competence). I can't believe that all my work has come to an end. It's astounding to me that three years later I will no longer be attending a place of higher learning! Wow. I HAVE MY MASTER'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind, got my paper and I was free." -- Indigo Girls
