Hi, I’m Jessica
I named my website after a quotation from George Washington Carver, “when we do the common things of life in an uncommon way, we will demand the attention of the world.” As a Christian I believe that the Lord has called me to live even the most common moments of my life in an uncommon way because I live to glorify Him.
I started this website as an undergraduate student, kept it (somewhat less regularly) as a graduate student, and now blog (hopefully more faithfully) as a speech-language pathologist (SLP). The name has remained Uncommon Student because, after all, we are alays learning!
I am a school-based SLP that….
- has my master’s in speech-language pathology from Auburn University (War Eagle!)
- got into this field to work with kids (and stayed that way through grad school, even though people said I would change my mind :))
I love your blog! I found it through the CollegePlus forums (I joined in September.) I wish I had found your blog sooner! You have some really great tips.
