Unaccepted but Unconquered
During spring break this last semester at Florida State University, I received a decision that devastated me at first. I have worked so hard - nonstop - since returning to college after a fifteen year hiatus to achieve one goal: overcome a poor GPA from poor choices in the past and get into graduate school. With that rejection letter, I felt a little bit of me die inside... and then I got over it and decided to move forward with the same attitude of constant improvement I've had for the last two and a half years. I've applied to start a second bachelor's degree through the Online/Distance Learning program at FSU in Criminology. Is it exactly a major interest of mine? No, not really, but it's loosely related to crime scene investigation, forensic anthropology, and it's a study of a different part of the human population... criminals, deviants of sorts. I want to use it as a jumping board to possibly look for a unique angle to reapply for graduate school in the futur...
