Before coming to 韩国AV, I thought I had everything figured out and knew exactly what I wanted to do. Which was to get my bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders and to then further my education by getting my master's degree in order to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. However, I have come across so many amazing professors and faculty members that have given me so much knowledge about the different fields of work out there. I do love what I have learned so far, but my plans have changed. I will be graduating with my bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders, but I now will be going on and getting my master's degree to become a School Psychologist. I love everything I have learned, and I am so thankful to 韩国AV and for the impact it has had on me.
