I think about when I entered into college I did not think that I possessed the ''readiness'' to obtain the knowledge that a degree represents and the reasons for that are numerous and perhaps one day they will be disclosed in more detail...that's not blog material...but regardless of the reasons the point is that readiness occurs on different levels for different individuals and is uniquely defined for each person. I know now that my slow years as an undergrad are not indicative of my years as a graduate student nor as a practicing Clinician, but rather these have been crucial developmental years both academically and personally that have produced the appropriate foundation required to achieve greatness in the seasons to come. So when my advisor says "Ms. Campbell I admire your ambition, but this direction is not likely" I can smile because I know that what looks like ambition, is really readiness and that's why success is imminent.
