I am majoring in Psychology. \u00a0I want to become a mental health counselor for teens and young adults either at a school or have my own private practice. \u00a0I am a first generation college student. Both of my parents are from Haiti my dad went to college my mom didn\u2019t. I am in limbo, hoping to graduate by next semester. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my Social Behavior course it was often so packed that I couldn\u2019t get a seat and would show up and then just leave. \u00a0I didn\u2019t do as well as I hoped to, as a result and am retaking the course in the fall. If high-demand classes were available in the summer and winter, and financial aid covered them, that would greatly help students graduate on time. \u00a0We need more class availability for classes that are highly in demand such as pre- or co-requisite classes. We need better paid adjuncts. Every single semester they\u2019re trying to teach and do their best and not being paid as much as they should be. \u00a0There should be better trained advisors. One day I was in advisement and I had work at 2pm. I did a walk in and put my name down and waited almost 2 hours. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
