It seems like everytime I feel like I have things figured out and my future seems at least somewhat certain something swoops in to change my plans. You see for the past year I have been almost certain that I wanted to graduate from BYU in April of 2011 with a bachelor's in Communication Disorders, then go to grad school at BYU and become an SLP. However, over the past few months I have had the opportunities to work with Trish, our feeding specialist at work. She holds a weekly feeding group for parents to bring their kids to who have various feeding difficulties. Working with Trish at this class has been amazing. I love watching her interact with the kids and educate the parents. I have learned so much from talking to her and assisting her in the class.
This has made me start to think about other possible post-graduate options, namely occupational therapy. I have spent several hours today looking into what it would take to be able to apply to OT programs. What I've found is that although it would be difficult at this point, it would definitely be very possible and it kind of makes me very excited to think about it. However, I still get excited about the prospect of becoming an SLP and I have loved learning from and interacting with the SLPs at work.
So you can see where my dilemma comes in. Two good options - two options that I will enjoy and that will make me happy. What to do, what to do?
