Waldon University Goal Statement

Academic experience
I am a graduate of Kutztown University with a degree in General studies. This degree specializes in Psychology and English Literature.
My grade point average between both Harcum College and Kutztown is cumulatively a 2.78.
The reason for this is due to having an undiagnosed bi-polar disorder that was also unmediated until four years into my schooling at Kutztown. My medication and treatment was very sporadic for the final year of my schooling and my psychologist attempted to put me on heavy medication before trying medications with less debilitating side effects. (Also explains inconsistencies)
I have a disability in mathematics that is documented (within five years). This disability keeps me from being able to comprehend/learn any math above the third grade (basic multiplication). This disability was disregarded by my advisers at Kutztown and subsequently I took many math based courses (especially within my Psychology major.) (Also explains inconsistencies) Work/other related
