The Trailblazer's Guide To College Admissions

4. Choosing The Path You Never Planned: My Story


Listen Later

Do you believe that benevolent forces are guiding you to your true purpose? I do. Even with all the failures, hardships, and declined college applications I’ve experienced in my journey, I truly believe that we all are redirected towards what's meant to be. And from there, we can choose to take those experiences or mistakes to help others find alignment in their path.

 

In this episode, I am sharing more of my story on why I became a college counselor, how I went down a path that wasn’t in alignment, what I wish I knew in retrospect, and my top tips to help students struggling to figure what's next. I am excited to share my academic and career journey with you, and hopefully, it can help you navigate your own career path with more clarity and less unknown.  

 

What We Cover:

  • Trying to figure out what’s next intuitively 
  • What happens when all your applications get declined
  • The infinite possibilities of where you can take your career
  • Starting a tutoring and test preparation company
  • Transitioning into college admissions counseling
  • Understanding the cost of DIYing your college applications

 

“If you maintain that belief that you're always being redirected towards what's aligned and what's meant for you, you're going to have a much easier time and in that pain, in that disappointment, are so many lessons, and that's really where real growth will happen.” - Cathleen
