Beginnings and Endings

Today I ran into family friends that I haven’t seen in 3 years. When I last saw them, I had not even learned about this career called occupational therapy. I didn’t know it existed. It’s impossible to imagine, now that I am so immersed in my studies. Needless to say, the explanation of what I am doing now took a very long time! It was very striking to consider how much my life has changed in the last three years. At that time I was a working professional in an entirely different field, and had a vision for my life that did not include going back to school or changing careers. The conversation also made it very clear how quickly time has passed since I decided to pursue occupational therapy. I was excited to tell them that I will graduate in May. In what seems like the blink of an eye, I have achieved something great. I can’t wait to take that licensing exam!
