My undergrad was counseling
and I also did a minor in theology.
And then my master's is social work.
Well
The director of counseling at
the time when I graduated from counseling, Duncan Rose,
he encouraged me to
stay at Newman and go on to get my social work degree.
It was good.
Yeah, it was good. It was hard work,
challenging at times, but it was
good and I feel like it was worth it.
I want to do school social work
so I've always wanted to work with kids.
Yeah, I mean counseling is not so much different than social work.
Some, with a social work degree you can do
counseling. So it's not that
far or different. But
with the undergrad, what I,
there's three difference concentrations and my concentration was
children and adolescents. And to work with children
and adolescents, you have to
go beyond the bachelor's. I think that Newman
kind of stands out more
than the other option, I think
would be Wichita State here for social work? I don't think there is another
one, but I'm not sure. But anyway, compared to
Wichita State,
I actually started out, before I started out in counseling,
I started out in elementary education
at Wichita State University, and there I seemed like
I was just a number there. And
I really didn't mean that much, and the instructors didn't know me,
I didn't really know them, but
here at Newman University, we're more like
a family. All the instructors
know all of the students,
and they genuinely care
about each of us.They know us by name, they know our
families, so with that
respect, I feel like
I really loved coming to Newman University.
The thing that first drew me to
Newman University was, it is a Catholic
university, and I'm Catholic, and
I loved the fact that it had the chapel there, on campus,
So
in the undergrad I was a little more involved with all of that
than the master's, but
I really loved having that there, too.
I'm ready to have a job.
