I create high goals and standards for myself. I am studying to be a board-certified music therapist. To achieve this goal, I am getting a high-quality education at Drury University and will go on to a six-month internship after my completion of four years at Drury. I hope to eventually work with adolescents in mental health settings. Once I become a board-certified music therapist, I would like to go back to school and eventually become a doctor in music therapy. This will require me to go back to school and keep learning. Also, to maintain my certification as a music therapist, I will have to take classes and continue to learn about my field. My long term goals include working in inpatient psychology as a music therapist, to continue to learn throughout my life, to become a music therapy professor, and to continue to commit myself to a life of service.
