Student battling depression finds inspiration, returns to graduate]]> “My daughter has become the light of my life, propelling me onto a path of bettering myself and becoming a loving father.” Warnock is set to graduate this month and go on to pursue his dream of becoming a music therapist. He is inspired by the idea of helping others through the use of alternative mediums such as aesthetic therapies. “Music has always been a therapeutic medium for me, allowing me to communicate with the outer world,” he said. With no music therapy degrees offered in the state of Arkansas, Sterling pursued a related degree at ����Vlog��ýLR. Warnock plans to obtain an official music therapy degree through an equivalency program. This program allows students who have a degree similar to a bachelor’s in music therapy to complete the remaining requirements to become eligible for certification as a licensed music therapist. Warnock plans to continue along this path of obtaining certification once he graduates this December. “My experience at ����Vlog��ýLR has been an unusual set of circumstances, but I believe it is a testament that anything is possible if we put our hearts and minds to it,” he said.  ]]>
