Reflection

This weeks reading was all about enjoying the journey. Since I am back at Mississippi State University (MSU) I have been able to reflect on my time spent at Jackson State University (JSU) and recognize the unique differences between JSU and MSU. I am so very thankful for my time spent at JSU and the diverse experiences I was able to encounter. The different people and the different departments helped me have a better understanding of institutional differences and how that can affect what department I may want to work in depending on the college. Although there were times of confusion and struggle, I can honestly say that I appreciate every aspect of it. The world of student affairs is a roller coaster, there is never two days that will be the same. But instead of letting these moments of ambiguity scare me away, I see them as a learning opportunity and believe they add to my overall journey as a professional. I have been able to bring my past experiences in criminology/sociology to better my outlook and motivate me in different ways.
