Now for you to fully understand here are the descriptions of my majors
Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy
The four and a half year program prepares students for clinical practice as generalists immediately after graduation. In the first two years of the curriculum, students acquire their basic musical skills (theory, ear training, keyboard, guitar, voice, and percussion); learn clinical musicianship through hands-on class work; and begin clinical placements in music therapy. In the junior and senior years, music therapy coursework focuses on techniques, theory, and research.Concurrently, students complete 1,200 hours of supervised clinical practicum and internships in the community working with child, adult, and elderly clients with psychiatric illnesses, cognitive and physical disabilities, and medical conditions.

Honors Program
The Honors Program at Anna Maria College was founded in 2007 in order to intellectually challenge highly motivated scholastic achievers. It serves as a “college within a college” providing honors students with specialized learning and community service opportunities on local, national and global levels. The Honors Program is a member of the National Collegiate Honors Council [NCHC], the National Association of Honors Programs, and the North East Regional Honors Council [NRHC]. Honors students are welcomed to contribute to all of the majors at the College.

So in short, I am graduating with my class, completing a 4.5 year degree program, a 4 year degree program, fulfilling all Honors program requirements (a study abroad experience and gpa), a member of Delta Epsilon Sigma all in 4 years. To be fair, I did do my internship this summer, making my music therapy degree basically 4.5 years, but I showed initiative and completed my degree by the 4 year mark by sacrificing my time to complete it.
I am so proud of myself. I have done it! I worked my ass off. I got good grades (for the most part anyway) and completed all my work.
I always feel bad about bragging, but I’d rather do it on here than in real life.
