Yesterday's orientation was an eye opener, but the seeds for friendship and perserverance throughout the program were planted needless to say. Beside being a very long day, 08:00a - 05:00p, I had lots of fun during the orientation. Breakfast and lunch were provided, and there was lots of tid bits of information to understand, everything from becoming HIPAA certified, the Graduate Studies Resources being available to us, the PA Program resources that are available, emergency contacts, obtaining ID's, meeting with professors, touring the campus, asking lots of questions, and like already said, establishing a bond with classmates. There was even a 2nd yr student there to give the class insight into what to expect, also to make sure we take advantage of the academic resources that are available in regards to the Academic Enrichemnt Center ( AEC ). This center is a place to collaborate with fellow students on varying subjects. We can start tutor group sessions, and tweek varying study habits that may be causing conflict with our performance.
Overall, that day was the spark for ignition to what is to be our FIRST SEMESTER! CHEERS TO THAT! The flame will ignite Monday Aug. 20th. Some of my classmates are going to hang 10 for an evening at one of the local bar and grills tomorrow. I'm extremely happy that my fellow colleagues are open to friendships, and are just as compassionate, motivated, and determined as I am in becoming a future PA-C!
