Graduate School?

[Beachbrat]

A few years back, I was going to do a grad program in educational leadership, college personnel services, with an emphasis in student affairs.
I was accepted provisionally, which was fine, I knew I could handle it because I earned As in graduate level classes I took while working full-time.
But I was accepted at an out-of-state school, and before I was to start, non-resident tuition went way up. Loans weren't something I wanted to take on, and the school didn't include grad assistantships as part of the program.
I took a time out. I know student affairs is the area I want to work in, and to to it, I need to do grad studies. So, this fall, it's back to school I go, in state, closer to home.
I tip my hat to those who did well on the GRE. I took it a few years ago, and it reflected I was breathing. I have yet to do well on a standardized test, so much so my high school counselor deemed me too dumb for college.
I tuned her out and earned two BAs.
