Hi everyone,

My name is Sarah and I am pursuing my Bachelor of Science in the Integrated Social Sciences. I have a four year old daughter and like to spend a lot of time with my mom and sister.

I was excited to see this course added as an offering for this Fall, as I had always planned to be a counselor and I’m enjoying all the new aspects I’ve learned about disability thus far.

My name is Lydia and I am a Senior at PSU. My hobbies include going to the beach, spending money that I don't have, and procrastinating by watching new girl. I am currently studying psychology with the Neuroscience focus and am taking the GREs in the spring, then applying to Physician's assistant school.

First and foremost, I am excited to be in this class and I'm looking forward to a great semester! I am a single mother of 3 daughters ranging from ages 8-17. This is my second semester, and I'm studying to obtain my Associate's Degree in letters, arts, and science. Unfortunately, and regrettably so, I dropped out of school in 8th grade. I am tackling a new world of learning, after not having formal education for 15+ years! Yikes! I own two small business' and enjoy painting in my 'spare time', which is next to none these days! :)

I'm interested in becoming a counselor/therapist in order to try to help people in ways that I found vital in my own journey through the forest of mental health. I love the outdoors and the life that lives there; be they animal, plant, fungus, slime mold, or other. I'd love to find ways of incorporating those passions into therapeutic methods.
