Texas Tech University Ph.D. Program Acceptance: Eleventh-Hour Surprise

My graduate school experience began with an MFA application to various American universities. When I received my acceptance letter to the MFA program at Long Island University, Brooklyn campus, I could not believe it at first because I switched my major from Communications to English with a specialization in Creative Writing. Prior to this moment, I only wrote mostly cultural and feature articles, news reports, and interviews for a contract job that I had. And sometimes, I published poems and short stories on my blog site too. I did not think much of my writing but I just knew that I wanted to develop and improve my skills as a creative writer.
