I have been waiting for my chance to go to grad school, but I never really thought about what to expect.  I thought, well it’s college, I did well in college.  But I decided to read a little bit about it to know what to expect  I found this article

7 things I wish I knew before going to grad school

which I think was really useful.  However, it got me a little worried.  It says that networking and making connections in grad school are very important.  This worries me because I’m not sure how I can make connections and network online.  I know it can be done, but I am not used to it.  I’m used to meeting people in person.  I talk to people online, but that’s my friends who I already know.  Connecting with people online is not the same as in person.

I am hoping that I’ll figure out how to do this fast because I don’t want this to cause me trouble in my education.  The other thing that worries me is being able to concentrate on my work, but I won’t have as many distractions as I did as an undergrad. I hope that, even if it’s harder, with less distractions I will be able to concentrate, put more effort and more time into my school work.  

I’m positive I can do this and I have been waiting for this for three years, but I would still like advice from people who have been to grad school or got their degree online.

I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write. I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer. I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book. Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.

  1. Kiki, hacerlo todo con tiempo y tener una agenda es lo más importante. Tener el correo electrónico del profesor o profesora también es importante. Participar online en los chats y entrar todos los días a la clase online fue lo que hice en mis clases y siempre me fue muy bien.
