As a graduate student, it is essential to find moments to reconnect to a broader purpose, as the demands of coursework, practica, and deadlines can easily become overwhelming. The Virginia Academy of School Psychologists (VASP) hosts an annual conference for aspiring and practicing school psychologists around the state. This year, I attended for the first time as a second-year graduate student preparing for internship placements. The experience offered professional insights and refreshed my motivation and confidence as I prepare to enter the field.
