Choices, Change, and the Unknown

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?

Music

So...I currently work at a place called PEEP (short for Provo Early Education Program). I love my job - I love the people I work with, the work I do, and the kids I get to be around. PEEP has become a family for many who work there. Even though I have only been a part of that family for a little over a year so many people there have made an amazing influence on my life. It was only by going to work there that I was able to choose a major that I love and that I can make a difference in. There are going to be so many changes over the next few months for us. I don't really care to go into details here. Right now I am just trying to enjoy the last few months I have and be grateful that I was able to be a part of something so incredible. I am making this DVD slideshow for everyone at work to help preserve some of the amazing memories we have made. But I have a small problem. I need songs. I think that choosing songs is perhaps the most difficult part of making slideshows. They have to convey so much emotion and so much meaning. I need music that is along the lines of good memories, making the most of life, friendship...you know - all that mushy stuff. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!
