“The most valuable skill I gained from my graduate program at Eastern Michigan University was flexibility. Another crucial skill I developed was acknowledging when I was struggling and asking for help or additional time. I learned to advocate for myself, ask for what I needed, and allow space to rest and recharge when necessary.”
