A blog post from SOLES Ambassador and MA in Counseling with specialization in\u00a0Clinical Mental Health Counseling JoJo Lee:\u00a0<\/em>
\nIt is hard to believe that this will be my last year in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. I still remember the first day when I walked into SOLES; I was amazed by the gorgeous building and exquisite interior design. Two years later, I am still amazed, but in a different way. Prior to being admitted\u00a0into the program,\u00a0I would have never been able to picture\u00a0myself as being one of the founders of a student organization, a presenter at multiple professional psychological conferences, an author in multiple manuscripts, a student representative, and a student who travels to different countries for classes. I am grateful for the support of faculty and for the opportunities presented to me in SOLES.

\nToday, I walk into SOLES with a sense of pride and a heart full of thanksgiving. I feel very thankful and appreciative to have a very generous advisor, Dr. Ronn Johnson and a fantastic, supportive cohort. I realize now that all these relationships and opportunities wouldn\u2019t have happened if I didn\u2019t ASK. It sounds easy, but for whatever reason it can be difficult to do. Graduate students may graduate to become the future colleagues of our professors or classmates. Therefore, I believe it is extremely important to start building up a professional network early. Instead of hiding from the professors, keep knocking on their doors until they remember your name! In my opinion, because we are still in the process of learning, we have more \u201cfree passes\u201d to make errors. I suggest our first year students not waste time to use those \u201cfree passes.\u201d Be an adventurer and start exploring opportunities from our faculty\u00a0and organizations. SOLES has so many resources available, check them out!
