Had my school admissions "interview"

Well, I am one step closer. I had my interview with the school last week and I have to say I was kinda nervous. I never really thought I wouldn't be accepted (until I got there!!) but I have had a lotttttttttt of personal things not go my way this year. She started with the fact that they only want the best people and people who are really devoted to the program. She asked lots of probing questions about things I did not expect. Like how strong is my relationship,  because the way she explained it people change a lot over the year and there seems to be a high seperation/divorce rate. Geezzzz! She asked if I would be committed to finishing no matter what. Kinda strange I thought. But I have no relationship issuses so it was difficult for me to imagine changing that much that it woudl cause them. This is all a good thing right? I mean I am all about learing about myself and spirtual awakening, but I sure don't plan on a divorce! Anyways I have had a rough and tough week and I am glad to have that part over with. She said she would recommend me for the program so now I just need letters of recomendation and financial aid. Having this to look forward to this fall is one of the things keeping me sane.Thanks so much for listening

Letters of recommendation! That's stringent! Congratulations for making it in. It sounds like this will be a life-altering choice for you. I hope it is a positive one; I know it has been for me. It is true that, in a good program that challenges you to look inward, people change. I feel that I have changed alot in the 15 months I have been in school. My perspective on life has become less about having things and more about experiences. Simple changes in perspective like that can be enough to put strain on a relationship that might be a little shaky. The time you need to invest in studying and practicing can also strain a partnership, as can potential jealousy of a partner from working on bodies of the opposite sex that are partially undressed. I have had run-ins with all of these issues at different times in different combinations. So far, we have been able to deal with them. It will be interesting when I am working in the field to see whether they subside or become bigger concerns.

I suspect it's illegal to ask that question, or to even ask about your "relationship".

Hmmm, could be I guess. I didn't really think of it like that. I wasn't insulted or anything. I just was taken off guard of the depth of questions. I don't know. I don't want to read to much into it. I llike the school a lot so I don't want to allow one persons "questioning personality" get in the way. Hopefully I am making the right choice.Thanks

Some of the questions asked in an interview session might also serve as a hint at what to expect so you're not totally thrown for a loop. From what I understand, not everyone who enrolls in massage school (regardless of where it is) finishes and graduates. From a personal perspective, I've had a few people drop from our class. Believe, the dynamic and energy changes with each departure.Good luck, have fun...and breathe!

As far as relationships go while entering massage school, read a few of the threads in the "Off The Table Topics" forum that pertain to relationships. Many of us left our SOs for various reasons, mainly because we found an inner strength in ourselves. If a relationship ends just because you went to massage school and found inner strength, SO got jealous, or any other reason, it is probably for the best anyway. In my case, it was. (Not to scare you or anything, just saying many people do, and many people don't.)
