I had my clinic "midterm" last week, and came to a realization: after four years of studies, I no longer think my path is in speech therapy.
I've LOVED and thoroughly enjoyed everything I've learned in this major, and that's not hard to do. You can love learning, but there's only so much a textbook can do.
Experience is what really tells you the truth about yourself.
I think it's very important to live life. Explore options and get your hands dirty.
Look at what really drives you, and what you enjoy doing in your free time. See that keyword? Doing?
Actions speak louder than words, yeah?
Anyway, although exploring is a wonderful epiphany, I feel I may need a bit more guidance. A great push is this site I found a few years back called theunlost.com. It has hundreds, maybe thousands of articles written in such a casual way. They're filled with "ah-ha" moments, plenty of space to converse with the community, and one of my favorite ways to get my doses of their site in: email subscription.
I subscribed to their Mini-Kit emails a couple of years ago, but lost track and didn't really do much more than skim over each one. I now signed up under my new email address and find the helpful nuggets so refreshing.
There's no way you can lose. You can unsubscribe anytime you want, and each Mini-Kit they send comes around every few days so you're not bombarded with emails day-in and day-out.
Please give it a chance! A nice change from the dreaded emails you have to reply to on a daily basis might be nice.
