[GUEST POST] Take Risks!

Yet another GUEST POST for the Student Affairs Collective!

I love contributing to this page.

And this series, the #SABeginnings series, asked grad students and new professionals to share their story of beginning their lives in student affairs.

I decided to write about my perspective on why I decided to leave home and fly 3,000 miles from hom ein order to get a new experiences on the east coast!

I feel life is only truly experienced when we take risks.

So enjoy the read!

Here are some previews of the article:

"I strongly believe that if you want to be a well-rounded professional in this field, you need to experience as many new environments as possible. And that means, at some point, you need to leave home."

"Comfort is stagnation.
Risk is invigoration."

"Beginning something takes risk—it also takes courage.

Being willing to leave your comfort zone is so important. And I will admit that I get frustrated when people in our field literally land-lock themselves to one state or region. BRANCH OUT! I know some folks have families—yet, for most of us just starting out, we are generally fairly young and have so much time to explore what the world holds for us!"


See you soon with my blog about my summer experience at Towson university!
