Hey baby Jags!
Coming to college, I knew I wanted to be in the medical field but not necessarily a doctor or nurse. I entered South as a Pre-Physical Therapy major and we were required to take a freshman experience course that focused on all of the Allied Health programs and professions. As I learned more about Occupational Therapy, I felt that this would be a perfect fit for me. Changing my major to Pre-Occupational Therapy was a hard decision for me but I knew, personally, I would ultimately be more satisfied with my career choice and have a slightly less stressful educational career at South. I knew I wanted to work with children and I would have the opportunity to focus on pediatrics within the OT field.
My final career goal is to work as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. The fulfillment I will get from helping children gain independence will make my many years of education worthwhile.
Trust me, whatever career you are meant to have or whatever educational path you are meant to follow will be revealed to you so don't stress too much. I've always heard, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans." This became so evident to me in college as He led me in a different direction than I had planned for for so long, but I am so thankful that He did.
Love & light xx
