Dear LEAD Family and
Prospective Students,
My
name is Niondau Williams and as a mentee in the Lamar Cardinals Career Program
(LEAD), the possibilities abound! I was given an exciting and unique privilege
to participate in workshops and seminars that were offered to the graduate SLP
and Audiology students. This year has been packed with informative group
sessions along with an invaluable look into the field of Speech Language
Pathology and Audiology. I am also very grateful for the number of rewarding
opportunities made available to me as a mentee which included; a resume writing
class, High School Career Day, observation at Wheatley Elementary School,
observation of an accent modification study, and receiving both a Vision and
Hearing Screening Certification. None of this would have been possible for me
without the encouragement and inviting atmosphere fostered by my mentor and
other members of the program.
As
a wife and mother returning to college, maintaining a well-balanced life has
been critical. I found a very insightful article on www.sheknows.com regarding,
“How to Juggle School and Family.” I initially was reluctant to enroll in
college but I am now glad that I did! Please refer to the website below if you
would like some successful pointers that have helped me! I hope that this
resource can be passed on to inspire someone in a similar situation.
Sincerely,
Niondau
Williams,
LEAD
Mentee
Team Work Makes the Dream Work
Sincerely,
Your Speech and Hearing Family
