Following up on my post from earlier relating to my schoolwork, I have some pretty exciting news! This week, I'll be going to Franklin Pierce University to walk around the campus and meet with a faculty member to discuss my dual-credit enrollment in VLACS. Ironically enough, this wasn't something set up through VLACS; in fact, it happened due to a coincidence my dad encountered.
As I mentioned before, I took a public speaking course through SNHU earlier this year. This course was online, but still required me to get a copy of the necessary textbook to help me complete assignments. The town library didn't have a copy of the book I needed, but the Franklin Pierce library did (since you know, it's a college). I ended up taking the book out for roughly 6 months straight to complete the course, and somewhere along the line, water was spilled on the book. This resulted in damage, which resulted in my dad having to order a new textbook online. When the book finally came in, my dad went to the library to drop it off. Talking to the admissions office at Franklin Pierce has been a topic between me and my dad for awhile now, since I've been heavily considering my future education and what I want to do with my life. Since I'll be graduating with an Associate's out of highschool, I was thinking about finishing up my Bachelor's degree at Franklin Pierce, since it's only 5 minutes from my house and I'd be able to save on boarding by living at home. As my dad left the library, he noticed that the Admissions office was right next door- so he walked in to see if he could gather any information. Long story short, the vice principal of admissions for the college just so happened to be walking out as he walked in and he was able to have a lengthy conversation with her about me and my plans for the future. Not only did she offer to schedule a tour of the campus, but she also informed my dad of merit scholarships that would cheapen my future expenses and told him about Master's degree programs for what I'd like to major in. This Wednesday, I'll be taking the tour and going over course options for next year. Only 2 out of my 10 courses for next year are going to be high school- the rest are going to be dual credit and go towards my Associate's degree. Whoever I meet with is going to help me choose courses that won't just count for dual credits, but will also give me credits necessary for obtaining a Master's degree in psychology- since I'd love to become a therapist/psychologist when I'm out of school. Needless to say, I'm quite excited and thought I'd share my bit of happiness with you. - Maddie
